Patent ID: 11375761

Abstract:
Apparatuses of electrochemical antimicrobial face masks and methods for manufacturing the same are provided. In one embodiment, an electrochemical antimicrobial face mask may include an electrochemical antimicrobial section configured to inactivate microbes that are in contact with the electrochemical antimicrobial section, and a filtration section configured to provide additional protection that prevents a user from breathing in the microbes, and where the electrochemical antimicrobial section is attached to the filtration section. The electrochemical antimicrobial section may include a galvanic corrosion cell membrane configured to generate antimicrobial agents via a galvanic electrochemical reaction, a hydrophilic antimicrobial membrane configured to inactivate microbes using the antimicrobial agents, and a regeneration pad configured to supply materials to the galvanic corrosion cell membrane for generating the antimicrobial agents.
