Abstract

A rechargeable electrical energy storage device (20). The cell has two electrodes (28, 36) constructed from a similar organometallic compound (30), and the electrodes are electrically connected by an ion carrying electrolyte (32). The electrodes are also physically separated from each other by a barrier (34) that will pass ions but not electrons. In one embodiment of the invention, the electrodes are ferrocene, and the electrolyte is sulfuric acid.
