Abstract
Battery system and method for producing electricity and hydrogen. The system dissipates heat as electrolyte fluid flows through a battery to generate reaction products in an exothermic reaction.
Claims19
A battery system, comprising:
- (a) an electrolyte containment vessel for storage of a bulk volume of electrolyte fluid;
- (b) a battery containment vessel, comprising:
- an inlet for receiving electrolyte fluid from the electrolyte containment vessel,
- an outlet for returning electrolyte fluid to the electrolyte containment vessel, and
- a passage, positioned between the inlet and outlet, that encloses a battery comprising one or more electrochemical cells, wherein at least one electrochemical cell comprises an anode and a cathode current collector configured to contact a shared electrolyte fluid;
- and
- (c) means for dissipating heat from the battery system,
- wherein the battery system does not comprise a partition between an electrolyte fluid for an anode and a separate electrolyte fluid for a cathode or cathode current collector.
