Claim Text:
1. An electrochemical cell system comprising: a fuel electrode comprising a metal fuel; an oxidant electrode for absorbing and reducing a gaseous oxidant; a chamber configured to contain a volume of ionically conductive liquid therein, wherein the ionically conductive liquid contains a salt dissolved therein and conducts ions between the fuel and oxidant electrodes, and wherein the oxidant electrode separates the ionically conductive liquid from the gaseous oxidant; and a filter configured to separate gas in the cell from the ionically conductive liquid, the filter comprising: wherein the hydrophilic body portion contains pores therein so as to permit permeation of the gas therethrough, and wherein the wick extends from the hydrophilic body portion towards and into the volume of ionically conductive liquid.
