Wick-and-pool electrodes for electrochemical cell

摘要: An electrode system includes a reservoir of liquid-metal reactant, and wick extending from submersed location within the into molten electrolyte an electrochemical cell structure. The is flooded with liquid metal thereby serves as one cell. This has application in high-temperature batteries employing alkali metals or their alloys active material salt electrolyte. It also can be used cells where purification, separation electrowinning accomplished.
