System and method of operating batteries
In one or more embodiments, a battery may include one or more cells and one or more enclosures that respectively enclose the one or more cells. For example, at least a portion of each enclosure of the one or more enclosures may include a zeolite material that is configured to permit first molecules associated with a first diameter to exit the enclosure and configured to inhibit second molecules associated with a second diameter, greater than the first diameter, from entering the enclosure. In one instance, the first molecules may include CO 2 molecules. In another instance, the second molecules may include H 2 O molecules. In one or more embodiments, the zeolite material may be a DDR-type zeolite material. For example, the DDR-type zeolite material may be applied on a porous α-alumina substrate.
