An energy storage system of increased conductivity for enhanced receipt, capture, storage, removal and release of energy is provided by dispersing finely divided filaments of highly conductive material throughout chemical energy storage media and causing the conductive filaments to establish a myriad network of highly conductive paths in contact with substantially the entirety of the media and energy exchangers devised to add energy to and remove energy from the media via the conductive paths.

A method of increasing conductivity between chemical energy storage media and energy exchangers in energy storage systems, comprising the steps of coating finely divided filaments of highly conductive material with a protective material for mitigating corrosion of the filaments without materially reducing their conductivity, and dispersing the highly conductive coated filaments throughout the media and causing the filaments to establish highly conductive paths in contact with substantially the entirety of the media and the energy exchanger. A method of mitigating destabilization of chemical energy storage media and increasing conductivity between the chemical energy storage media and energy exchangers in energy storage systems, comprising the steps of dispersing finely divided multitudinous fine strands of highly conductive material through the media, contacting the conductive fine strands with substantially the entirety of the media, the energy exchanger and one another to establish highly conductive paths between substantially the entirety of the media and the energy exchanger, causing the fine strands, by virtue of their composite large surface area, capillary attraction and pointed ends, to mitigate separation, destabilization and supercooling of the media and enhance its useful service life, and stratifying the mixture of the fine strands and the media into layers by inserting therein spaced, generally parallel, sheet-like dividers of highy conductive mesh.
