Abstract

Monopolar battery performance may be enhanced by circulating the electrolyte. A circulating electrolyte configuration for this type of system, however, gives rise to undesirable shunt current effects when used in series arrays. A protective current is applied to reduce or eliminate the shunt currents. The application of the protective current in aqueous monopolar battery systems will result in a REDOX reaction couple, wherein water is electrically consumed at the protective current anode and electrically replaced at the protective current cathode.
