Abstract
A flow cell includes a separator and anode that define a flow cavity. The flow cell also includes an electrically conductive corrugated flow screen disposed within the cavity and electrically connected with the anode such that the flow screen, during charge, provides an electric shield to hinder deposition of metal between the anode and flow screen and to promote deposition of metal between the separator and flow screen.
