Title: Secondary zinc/oxygen electrochemical cells using inorganic oxyacid electrolytes

Patent ·
OSTI ID:6702302

A secondary zinc/oxygen electrochemical cell is described that uses a circulating aqueous inorganic oxyacid electrolyte and has an external load circuit or charging circuit in electronic communication with the anode and cathode, the circuit being completed by ionic interaction through an ionic separator between the catholyte and anolyte. The electrochemical cell of this invention provides a process for production of electricity and may be recharged by providing electrical energy from the external circuit.
