ELECTROCHEMICAL ENERGY STORE AND METHOD FOR OPERATING THE SAME

摘要

A rechargeable energy storage device according to the invention is based on a metal-air battery, in which a gas electrode is used and an ion-conducting or proton-conducting membrane is used as the electrolyte. In contrast to the known metal-air batteries, the active component on the side of the electrolyte membrane opposite the gas electrode is present in the form of a liquid medium in the energy storage device according to the invention. The liquid-medium/gas battery according to the invention comprises a receptacle, which includes a medium in liquid form as the active material at the operating temperature of the battery.
