摘要 |
The present invention provides a rechargeable high temperature battery comprising a chamber defined by at least one wall formed at least in part as a solid membrane capable of passing oxide anions, and electrodes which are present on the inside and outside of the membrane that sandwich the membrane between them. The electrode on the outside of the chamber is an oxygen redox electrode, and the membrane exhibits good conductivity for the transport of oxide anions when it is at a temperature in the range of between about 500° C. and about 1000° C. The present invention also relates to a method of operating such a high temperature battery |
