An electrochemical cell is disclosed. The cell comprises a substrate with an elongate channel formed therein; first and second electrodes extending longitudinally in the channel and disposed to opposite sides of the channel; and three fluid ports at each end of the channel for ingress and egress of respective fluids, wherein three fluids entering into the channel through respective fluid ports at one end flow through the channel in parallel laminar streams and exit the channel through the respective ports at the other end. One of the fluids is disposed between the other two fluids in the channel, and facilitates diffusion of ions to and from those other two fluids. One or more of the cells may be used as part of a flow battery. Also described is a method for manufacturing the electrochemical cell. The battery may be used to power an electric vehicle. |
