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