METAL HALOGEN ELECTROCHEMICAL CELL

摘要

A metal halogen cell (l2) has a metal anode (l0) and a chemically inert electrode (l6), both disposed in an electrolyte (l4). The electrolyte (l4) is an aqueous metal halide solution, the metal correspondponders to anode (l0) and the halide to the halogen generated at electrode (l6). cell (l2) is divided into anolyte and catholyte portions by a microporous separator (l8), which is of a material which is not wetted by cathodic halogen and is preferably wetted by the aqueous electrolyte.
