摘要 |
The metal-halogen battery disclosed herein, specifically zinc-bromine, is one in which hydrogen ions are lost from its electrolyte solution during operation, thereby resulting in an undesirable increase in the pH of this solution. However, an arrangement is disclosed herein for replacing the lost hydrogen ions and thereby maintaining the pH of its electrolyte solution at a desirable level. In a preferred embodiment, this arrangement comprises an electrolysis cell which serves to oxidize water for producing the needed hydrogen ions.
