摘要 |
The present invention provides an electrochemical cell (10) that includes an anolyte compartment (15) housing an anode electrode (20); a catholyte compartment (25) housing a cathode electrode (30); and a solid alkali ion conductive electrolyte membrane (35) separating the anolyte compartment (15) from the cathode compartment (25). In some cases, the electrolyte membrane (35) is selected from a sodium ion conductive electrolyte membrane and a lithium ion conductive membrane. In some cases, the at least one of anode (20) or the cathode (30) includes an alkali metal intercalation material. |
