Title:
METAL-AIR BATTERY WITH EXPANDABLE ANODE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2017/110880
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
An air cathode battery is provided with a slurry anode. An anode cavity is interposed between the air cathode interior surfaces, with an anode compartment occupying the anode cavity. The anode compartment has a first wall and a second wall, one or both capable of movement. An anode current collector pouch has walls adjacent to interior surfaces of the anode compartment. A zinc slurry occupies an expandable region in the anode compartment between the anode current collector pouch and the anode compartment wall interior surfaces. The anode current collector pouch first wall and second wall contract towards each other in response to expansion in the volume of zinc slurry. In one aspect, the anode compartment first and second walls expand away from each other in response to expansion in the volume of zinc oxide. A replenishable electrolyte source may be used to provide electrolyte to the anode cavity.
