Ion contivity is established between an oxygen-reducing electrode, and adjacent ion pervious insulating membrane, a paste which has flow characteristics comprising particles of an oxidizable metal and a liquid electrolyte, and an inert electrode in physical contact with said paste. In said paste, the metal particles are in an amount constituting from 60% up to the critical pigment volume composition. The metal paste is moved from a first reservoir through the electrochemical battery wherein it is oxidized to the corresponding metal oxide paste and passed to a second reservoir. The battery may be recharged by reversing the movement and electrolyzing, or by reducing the metal oxide paste in an external circuit.Field of SearchFUEL CELL, SUBCOMBINATION THEREOF OR METHODS OF OPERATINGProcess of operating Active material in electrolyte Active material electrode-type cell or subcombination thereof HAVING MOVABLE MECHANICAL MEANS TO PROVIDE RELATIVE MOTION BETWEEN ELECTRODE AND ELECTROLYTE Means moves electrode FLUID ACTIVE MATERIAL OR TWO-FLUID ELECTROLYTE COMBINATION HAVING AREAS OF NONMIXTURE Tape or flexible-type cell including tape fuel cells or subcombination thereof |
