Abstract
Described is an electrode assembly comprising; PA1 a. a porous electrode having a first and second exterior face with a cavity formed in the interior between said exterior faces thereby having first and second interior faces positioned opposite the first and second exterior faces; PA1 b. a counter electrode positioned facing each of the first and second exterior faces of the porous electrode; PA1 c. means for passing an oxidant through said porous electrode; and PA1 d. screening means for blocking the interior face of the porous electrode a greater amount than the blocking of the respective exterior face of the porous electrode, thereby maintaining a differential of oxidant electrode surface between the interior face and the exterior face. The electrode assembly is useful in a metal, halogen, halogen hydrate electrical energy storage device.
