  • Publication number: 20240170702
    Abstract: A redox device of a metal-air flow battery includes a container, a rod inserted into and electrically insulated from the container, a net connected to and surrounding the rod, a power supply, and an ultrasonic module. The container, the rod, and the net are electrically conductive, respectively. The net moves away from the rod gradually in a spiral manner. The container receives an electrolyte solution containing a product originated from the metal-air flow battery. The net is immersed in the electrolyte solution. The power supply is electrically connected to the container, the rod, and the net to form an electric loop via the electrolyte solution. The power supply provides a pulse current to the electric loop to electrochemically deposit metal from the electrolyte solution on the net. The ultrasonic module provides vibrations to the container to shake off metal from the net and suspend the metal in the electrolyte solution.

  • Patent number: 11258277
    Abstract: A power management system includes a battery charging system, a power supplying system, a first switching module, and a second switching module. The power management system is switched between the battery charging system and the power supplying system via the first switching module and the second switching module. With a charging electric energy generated by the waveform generating module, the battery charging system could restore the aging battery or the battery with degraded performance to a better state when the batteries are charging. By sensing a battery state of batteries, the power supplying system provides a supplementing power to the batteries, and the supplementing power and a power of the batteries could be supplied to a load together.
