NOVELTY - The method involves applying electrical current between charging and permeable electrode portion (12a-12c) of fuel electrode with charging electrode functioning as anode and permeable electrode portion functioning as cathode, such that reducible fuel ions are reduced and electrodeposited as fuel in oxidizable form on permeable electrode portion. The growth of fuel is increased among permeable electrode portion such that electrodeposited fuel establishes electrical connection between permeable electrode portions. The electrical current is removed to discontinue charging.    USE - Method for operating electrochemical cell (claimed).    ADVANTAGE - The even distribution of the particulates can be provided across the surface of the fuel electrode so as to improve the efficiency of the cell. The ionic resistance can be created between the pair of fluidly connected cells that is greater than ionic resistance within individual cell. Thus, reduce internal ionic resistance loss of the stack of cells. The optional fluidization zones can agitate the particulates and can form precipitate during discharge mode of the cell within the ionically conductive medium so as to prevent the particulates from settling out of the medium at the bottom of the cavity. The particulates can be allowed to flow with the ionically conductive medium across the fuel electrode. The flow lanes can prevent the particulates from settling and covering the electrodes. The improved distribution of the particulates across the fuel electrode can allow for uniform deposition of the reduced fuel onto the fuel electrode. Thus, improves the density of the fuel on the fuel electrode, increases the capacity and energy density of the cell, and enhance the cycle-life of the cell. The distribution of the precipitates and reaction byproduct can be controlled during discharge, early passivation and deposition of the by-product on the fuel electrode can be prevented.
