Metal-halogen battery assembly and method of operation
Patent
·
OSTI ID:5775903
A metal-halogen battery assembly, specifically a zinc-bromine battery assembly of the rechargeable type, is disclosed herein along with its method of operation. The assembly includes a housing having an internal chamber, a liquid separator or membrane which divides the chamber into two sections, a metal reacting negative section and a halogen-reacting positive section , and two electrodes, a negative electrode fixedly located within the metal-reacting chamber section and a positive electrode fixedly located within the halogen-reacting chamber section. The assembly also includes metal and halogen containing electrolyte solution, a first fixed volume of which is continuously circulated and recirculated through the negative chamber section while a separate, lesser volume of the solution is circulated and recirculated through the positive chamber section.
