US Patent 11926783 Electrochemical redox refrigeration

A method of electrochemical redox refrigeration includes inducing a flow of an electrochemical refrigerant that is in contact with a first electrode to a second electrode; applying an electrical potential difference between the first electrode and the second electrode, wherein the electrochemical refrigerant is oxidized at one of the first electrode and second electrode and reduced at another of the first electrode and second electrode; wherein the first electrode is at least partially thermally isolated from Joule heating in the electrochemical refrigerant and from activation losses in the second electrode by an action of the flow of the electrochemical refrigerant.
