Title:
Device architectures for metal-air batteries
Abstract:
Systems and methods of the various embodiments may provide device architectures for batteries. In various embodiments, these may be primary or secondary batteries. In various embodiments these devices may be useful for energy storage. Various embodiments may provide a battery including an Oxygen Reduction Reaction (ORR) electrode, an Oxygen Evolution Reaction (OER) electrode, a metal electrode; and an electrolyte separating the ORR electrode and the OER electrode from the metal electrode.

Self-switching device and method for oxygen concentration and electrolyte tank temperature in aluminum-air battery
铝空气电池氧气浓度和电解液箱温度的自切换装置及方法
Abstracts:
The invention discloses a self-switching device and method for the oxygen concentration of an aluminum-air battery and the temperature of an electrolyte tank, including an oxygen candle box. The oxygen candle box is a cap-type structure and is used to cover the upper end of the electrolyte box body. The top plate of the cap-type structure is provided with an oxygen candle cavity for placing the oxygen candle monomers. The electronic initiators of the individual oxygen candle cells are ignited. In the present invention, the oxygen candle box adopts a box cover buckle type structure, and the oxygen candle box is used as a snap-on upper cover, which is directly buckled on the electrolyte box during installation, and the two are made non-contact through the bracket to ensure hot oxygen during low temperature startup. It can be gathered to achieve the function of heating the electrolyte tank, and at the same time, the oxygen concentration and the temperature of the electrolyte tank can be freely switched by setting the cooling fan.
