Abstract
Provided herein are anode assembly, conductive contact strips, electrochemical cells containing the anode assembly and the conductive contact strips, and methods to use and manufacture the same, where the anode assembly includes a plurality of V-shaped, U-shaped, or Z-shaped elements positioned outside the anode shell and in electrical contact with the anode.
Claims20
An anode assembly, comprising:
- an anode shell;
- an anode positioned inside the anode shell;
- and
- a plurality of V-shaped, U-shaped, or Z-shaped elements positioned outside the anode shell and in electrical contact with the anode wherein the anode comprises a corrugated porous anode.
1 more element
A method comprising:
- contacting an anode shell and an anode positioned inside the anode shell with a cathode shell and a cathode positioned inside the cathode shell in an electrochemical cell wherein the anode comprises a corrugated porous anode;
- and
- contacting a plurality of V-shaped, U-shaped, or Z-shaped elements to the outside of the anode shell such that the anode shell is in electrical contact with the plurality of V-shaped, U-shaped, or Z-shaped elements.
