FLOW BATTERY WITH REACTANT SEPARATION

摘要

An embodiment relates an electrochemical system. The system includes (a) at least one cell that comprises a first electrode, a second electrode and a reaction zone between the first and second electrode. The system also includes (b) a halogen reactant (c) at least one metal halide electrolyte and (d) a flow circuit configured to deliver the halogen reactant and the at least one metal-halide electrolyte to the at least one cell. The flow circuit includes an electrolyte reservoir and a halogen reactant/electrolyte separation device comprising a halophilic material.
