New “convection battery” could significantly increase performance of existing as well as new, improved battery chemistries

Green Car Congress

For instance, higher power output is possible with the flow (reported to 500 mA/ cm 2 ) of electrolyte when one of the reagents is stored in the electrolyte. Typical applications of the new convection battery would be plug-in hybrid electric vehicles and electric grid energy storage, they suggested.
