Classification: CPC H  Y | IPC H

Claim 0:
1. A method, comprising;
providing an electrochemical cell comprising:
a housing,
a negative electrode substrate disposed within a first electrode chamber of the housing,
a positive electrode substrate disposed within a second electrode chamber of the housing, and
a separator disposed within the housing between the first electrode chamber and the second electrode chamber;

passing a first manufacturing electrolyte and a second manufacturing electrolyte through the electrochemical cell simultaneously by:
pumping the first manufacturing electrolyte through the first electrode chamber around the negative electrode substrate; and
pumping the second manufacturing electrolyte through the second electrode chamber around the positive electrode substrate;

applying a first electrical signal to the electrochemical cell; and
electrochemically fabricating a negative active material on the negative electrode substrate, thereby forming a negative electrode and electrochemically fabricating a positive active material on the positive electrode substrate, thereby forming a positive electrode.
