ENERGY STORAGE APPARATUS AND ENERGY STORAGE METHOD

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide systems and methods for obtaining and/or maintaining a column height of an electrolyte relative to a separator surface within an energy storage device.SOLUTION: Embodiments of the invention provide a wicking component 120, a current collector 140, and a bias component 130. The current collector 140 is positioned to force the bias component 130 to press the wicking component 120 tightly to an inner surface of a separator 110. The bias component 130 maintains contact between the wicking component 120 and the surface of separator 110 and creates a capillary gap in which sodium wicks.
