    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and/or the like are provided. In some embodiments, an electrochemical cell includes a container; a first electrode disposed within the container. In some embodiments, the first electrode includes a first electrode portion; and a second electrode portion conductively connected with the first electrode portion and spaced apart from the first electrode portion to define at least one reservoir between the first electrode portion and the second electrode portion. The at least one reservoir is bounded at least in part by a first reservoir wall of the first electrode portion and a second reservoir wall of the second electrode portion. A second electrode may be disposed within the container, and a separator is disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode. In some embodiments, the cell includes an electrolyte solution permeating the first electrode and the second electrode and at least partially filing the at least one reservoir.

    Abstract: Various embodiments are directed to an electrochemical cell having a non-homogeneous anode. The electrochemical cell includes a container, a cathode forming a hollow cylinder within the container, an anode positioned within the hollow cylinder of the cathode, and a separator between the cathode and the anode. The anode comprises at least two concentric anode portions, defined by different anode characteristics. For example, the two anode portions may contain different surfactant types, which provides the two anode portions with different charge transfer resistance characteristics. By lowering the charge transfer resistance of a portion of an anode located proximate the current collector of the cell (and away from the separator) relative to an anode portion located adjacent the separator, improved cell discharge performance may be obtained.
