Abstract
Multi-phase electrochemical cells and related systems and methods are generally described.
Claims20
An electrochemical cell, comprising:
- a first region comprising a first electrode active material;
- and
- a second region in electrochemical communication with the first region, the second region comprising a second electrode active material;
- wherein:
- the first region comprises a non-polar liquid;
- the first electrode active material comprises an electroactive species within the non-polar liquid, the electroactive species present in the non-polar liquid at a concentration of at least 1 mMol;
- the second electrode active material comprises iron;
- and
- the electrochemical cell is configured such that, during at least one period of time during charging and/or discharging, a metallic iron electrode material is present.
