Separator configuration providing a reservoir and wicking system for electrolyte

摘要

The present invention is directed to a system for transportation of electrolyte for use in an electrochemical cell. The system comprises a reservoir space located within the cell and below at least two electrodes of the cell, and at least one layer of absorptive material situated between the at least two electrodes, one or more layers of absorptive material being longer in length so as to protrude into the reservoir space.
