Title: Minimizing electrode contamination in an electrochemical cell

Patent ·
OSTI ID:1165132
; ;

An electrochemical cell assembly that is expected to prevent or at least minimize electrode contamination includes one or more getters that trap a component or components leached from a first electrode and prevents or at least minimizes them from contaminating a second electrode.
