Abstract
An electrochemical cell includes a metal containing anode M′ capturing and releasing cations, a metal containing cathode M″ and an electrolyte including an anion X− and a cation M′+. During the charge process, the electrolyte allows reversible reactions wherein the anion dissociates from the electrolyte and reacts with the metal cathode forming M″Xy. At the same time, cations M′+ from the electrolyte deposit on the anode side. The reverse process happens during the discharge process.
