  • Flow batteries with current collectors having a dielectric coating
    Patent number: 11387479
    Abstract: Herein is disclosed, a rechargeable flow battery, wherein the flow battery comprises: first and second electrodes, separated such that ions are allowed to flow between them, wherein a first reservoir comprising or for holding a first fluid electrolyte is fluidly connected to the first electrode, to allow circulation of the first fluid electrolyte from the first reservoir to the first electrode and from the first electrode to the first reservoir; and a first current collector comprising a layer of electrically conductive material having opposing first and second sides, wherein the first electrode is disposed on the first side of the first current collector, such that electrons can flow from the electrode to the first current collector, and a first layer of dielectric material is disposed on the second side of the first current collector.
    Type: Grant
