Abstract
Electrochemical cell systems are disclosed herein that are capable of selective ionic isolation, oxidant isolation, oxidant removal, moisture control, and combinations thereof. Selective ionic isolation is generally effectuated by selectively eliminating or minimizing ionic communication between an anode and a cathode of the electrochemical cell.
Claims7
An electrochemical cell comprising:
- an anode;
- a cathode;
- a separator between the anode and the cathode, the separator allowing ionic conduction between the anode and the cathode but not allowing electrical conduction between the anode and the cathode;
- and
- a hinge configured, positioned, and dimensioned such that upon actuation of the hinge, ionic communication between the anode and the cathode is isolated, or the ionic conductivity between the anode and the cathode is reduced,
- wherein the anode, the cathode, or both the anode in the cathode are configured to allow selective ionic isolation between the anode and cathode, or selective reduction of ionic conductivity between the anode and the cathode.
