    摘要: An electrochemical storage device has an anode chamber filled with anode material during operation, and a cathode chamber filled with cathode material. The anode chamber is separated from the cathode chamber by solid body electrolyte guiding ions, and the anode chamber is limited on one side by the solid body electrolyte, on another side by a wall at least partially surrounding the solid body electrolyte. The wall is surrounded by a head part of the device, by a base part arranged opposite the head part and/or by a lateral part arranged between the head and base part. The wall has an electrical conductive wall section as an anode to the anode chamber, an at least partially flat, electrical conductive line section electrically connected to the wall section by a surface, and conductivity per surface of the line section greater than conductivity of the wall per surface of the wall section.

    摘要: Apparatus and methods to reduce granule disruption during manufacture of electrochemical cells, such as a metal halide electrochemical cell, are provided. In one embodiment, a current collector can include a diffuser strip extending beneath an aperture configured to receive an injection stream of molten electrolyte. The diffuser strip can be configured to dissipate an injection stream of molten electrolyte when the molten electrolyte is injected into an electrochemical cell. In this way, disruption of a granule bed by the injection of the molten electrolyte during manufacture of the electrochemical cell can be reduced.
