  • High-voltage ion-mediated flow/flow-assist manganese dioxide-zinc battery
    Patent number: 12183876
    Abstract: A battery includes a cathode compartment, a catholyte solution disposed within the cathode compartment, an anode compartment, an anolyte solution disposed within the anode compartment, a separator disposed between the cathode compartment and the anode compartment, and a flow system configured to provide fluid circulation in the cathode compartment and the anode compartment. The catholyte solution and the anolyte solution have different compositions.
    Type: Grant

  • Management of gas pressure and electrode state of charge in alkaline batteries
    Patent number: 10211491
    Abstract: An inventive, new system that measures gas composition and pressure in the headspace of an aqueous electrolyte battery is described. The system includes a microcontroller that can use the composition and pressure information to connect a third electrode to either the anode(s) or the cathode(s) in order to balance the state of charge between the two. Results have shown that such a system can control the gas pressure inside a sealed flooded aqueous electrolyte battery to remain below 20 kPa (3 psi) and greatly extend the useable life of the battery.
