Abstract
An electrochemical cell and methods of using the electrochemical cell are described that can be utilized for the recovery of metals from metal oxides. The cell includes a first electrode that includes a solid metal oxide, an electrolyte including an oxygen ion conductor, and a second electrode space apart from the electrolyte by an oxygen ion conducting membrane. Upon reduction of the metal oxide, solid metal is formed that replaces the metal oxide of the electrode and provides for simplified recovery of the metal from the metal oxide. The membrane protects the second electrode from corrosion and degradation from the electrolyte, increasing the life of the cell.
