Abstract
Systems and methods of the various embodiments may provide decoupled electrode electrochemical energy storage systems.
Claims17
A system for energy storage, the system comprising:
- a metal electrode comprising a metal electrode containment vessel and a bed of metal therein;
- an oxygen reduction (ORR) electrode;
- an oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrode fluidically decoupled from the ORR electrode;
- a pump;
- and
- an electrolyte piping system fluidically coupling the pump with the metal electrode, and the electrolyte piping system selectively switchable to fluidically isolate the ORR electrode and the OER electrode from one another and from the metal electrode.
