<p>Batteries, accumulators or electrochemical generators of electrical energy, of which the negative electrode (anode) is comprised of at least an alkaline halide, in aqueous or alkaline solution, or of a metal halide, and a current collecting auxiliary electrode. The positive electrode (cathode) is comprised of at least an oxide or a metal hydroxide which may be in solution into the electrolyte and which, preactivated or regenerated permanently by the presence of air or oxygen introduced into the alkaline solution wherein the cathode is dipped, provides the hydroxyl ions necessary to the oxidation of the halide forming the anode. Further, certain compounds of the anode may be thermally or photonically regenerated. Various applications of these devices, in particular sea water, may be carried out for electrical energy supply, using a readily available and cheap fuel. </p> |
