Abstract

Provided herein is an apparatus for storing electric energy including at least one electrochemical cell having an anode space and a cathode space that are separated by a solid electrolyte, a first store for anode material that is connected to the anode space, and a second store for cathode material that is connected to the cathode space. The cathode space is also connected to a third store. The second and third stores are connected to one another by means of a gas conduit that opens into the upper region of the second and third stores. A conveying apparatus for gas having a reversible conveying direction is accommodated in the gas conduit. Further provided herein is a method of operating the apparatus.
