Abstract
An electrochemical cell includes a cathode pouch, an anode pouch, and a membrane separating the anode and cathode pouch. A lithium-based catholyte is inside the cathode pouch and between the membrane and pouch. A cathode current collector is located in contact with the catholyte. An anolyte having a silicon based lithium receiving material is between the anode pouch and the membrane. An anode current collector is located in contact with the anolyte. The volume between the anode pouch and the membrane contracts and expands in order to accommodate changes in anolyte volume during charging and discharge of the cell.
