Abstract
A separator system for electrochemical cells whereby a reactive metal anode and active porous cathode are isolated from one another while the uniformity and turbulence of the electrolyte flow therebetween is increased. The separator system includes a rigid porous member adjacent to the cathode and a resilient porous member adjacent to the rigid porous member and between the rigid porous member and the anode. This orientation of the separator system components results in a cell having improved controllability and reduced polarization during operation.
