step six: and (3) repeating the operations from the second step to the fifth step, wherein a charge-free thermal regeneration electrochemical cycle is formed by four processes, and oxidation and reduction reactions are generated in the electrode cycle to continuously store low-temperature thermal energy into chemical energy and convert the chemical energy into electric energy.
8. The method of claim 7, wherein the four processes are performed simultaneously by a plurality of battery modules, respectively.
9. The method of claim 7, wherein the battery cooling heat of step two is used in the battery heating process of step four by one or more heat exchangers.
