Abstract
1,272,220. Rechargeable hybrid fuel cells. JOSEPH LUCAS (INDUSTRIES) Ltd. 11 Aug., 1969 [27 Aug., 1968; 13 May, 1969], Nos. 40825/68 and 24235/69. Heading H1B. A rechargeable hybrid fuel cell battery, e.g. of the Zn/air type, comprising a plurality of individual cells each with a counter-electrode 23, e.g. a stainless steel mesh between an oxygen electrode 12 and negative electrode 11, e.g. zinc is charged by connecting the negative and counter-electrodes to a D.C. source whilst supplying gas under pressure to the space between the oxygen and counter-electrodes to electrically isolate them. Preferably, the gas used for isolation is the gas supplied to the oxygen electrodes during discharging. As shown, during discharge electrolyte is circulated via inlets 21 and outlets 22 into chambers 16, 17 separated by porous membrane 18, and air is supplied to chamber 13 via 14, 15 of the oxygen electrode. For recharging electrodes 11 and 23 are connected to a D.C. source and the electrolyte containing the discharged ZnO particles is recirculated. The pressure in chamber 13 is increased so that air flows through electrode 12 into chamber 17, thus isolating electrode 12 from counter-electrode 23. The flow of air and electrolyte through the cells during discharging and charging is controlled by a system of valves and pumps. In a modification the electrolyte is not circulated, but remains within its individual cell, a reservoir being provided for storing electrolyte displaced by the air during charging.
