An electrically recoverable and rechargeable battery, a method of manufacturing the battery and a method of operating the battery

摘要

A battery system comprising: a lithium-ion cell comprising a positive electrode comprising a first metal oxide, an electrolyte, and a negative electrode comprising a second metal oxide having an electrochemical redox potential of 0.5 to 3 volts relative to lithium. ; And a switchable element connecting the anode and the cathode, the switchable element providing a short between the anode and the cathode at a first switch position, the switchable element being the first switch position. The electrical circuit is configured to provide a voltage of 0.1 volt or less between the anode and the cathode when at.
