Abstract
Provided are devices, systems, and methods for rejuvenating degraded energy devices. In one aspect, the present disclosure provides a method for rejuvenating an energy device, the method comprising: using at least one acoustic device to generate acoustic waves to facilitate flow and/or distribution of fresh or unused chemicals into the energy device and to replace and expel aged or used chemicals out of the energy device, thereby rejuvenating the energy device and rendering the energy device suitable for continued usage.
Claims20
A method for rejuvenating an energy device, the method comprising:
- using at least one acoustic device to generate acoustic waves to facilitate flow and/or distribution of fresh or unused chemicals into the energy device and to replenish, replace, and expel aged or used chemicals out of the energy device, thereby rejuvenating the energy device and rendering the energy device suitable for continued usage, wherein:
- the energy device comprises one or more electrochemical cells,
- the aged or used chemicals comprise a used electrolyte,
- the fresh or unused chemicals comprise a fresh unused electrolyte, and
- rejuvenating the energy device comprises increasing a capacity of the energy device by at least 1%.
