摘要:
A method for preparing a multilayer material based on active lithium, by depositing a film of active lithium on a protective layer at a sufficient speed so that substantially no oxidation of the lithium occurs, and/or during a sufficient time for the adhesion of the lithium to develop after contact with the protective layer. The multilayer material, when incorporated in an electrochemical battery as an anode, has excellent impedance stability and no formation of dendrites during the cycling. Batteries where the anode is the multilayer material are particularly efficient in terms of their coulomb efficiency.

An in-situ thermal management system for an energy storage device. The energy storage device includes a plurality of energy storage cells each being coupled in parallel to common positive and negative connections. Each of the energy storage cells, in accordance with the cell's technology, dimensions, and thermal/electrical properties, is configured to have a ratio of energy content-to-contact surface area such that thermal energy produced by a short-circuit in a particular cell is conducted to a cell adjacent the particular cell so as to prevent the temperature of the particular cell from exceeding a breakdown temperature. In one embodiment, a fuse is coupled in series with each of a number of energy storage cells. The fuses are activated by a current spike capacitively produced by a cell upon occurrence of a short-circuit in the cell, thereby electrically isolating the short-circuited cell from the common positive and negative connections.

There is provided a mother-battery containing at least the following films: an anode of metallic lithium or sodium, a polymer electrolyte which is conductive towards the alkaline ions of the anode and also acts as a separator between the electrodes, and a composite cathode consisting of a compound which is reducible to lithium or sodium, an additive of electronic conduction and a polymer electrolyte binder. The mother battery also includes an electronically conductive thin coating on the external face of the anode and, possibly of the cathode, in which the conductive material is chemically inert towards the electrode material and which also serves to establish permanent electrical contacts on the external faces. The laminated mother-battery of larger surface area and at least partially charged is thereafter subjected to a sharp mechanical cutting out to give thin polymer electrolyte batteries with lithium or sodium anode. The thus cut out batteries preserve substantially their voltage after mechanical cutting out which is recovered by a mechanism of self-healing.
摘要:
Electrical contact outlet for an anode sheet of a lithium generator with polymer electrolyte, consisting of one or more multilayer electrochemical cells. The cell comprises at least one lithium base sheet having a thickness between about 1 and 50 microns to constitute the anode and its collector and additionally includes a cathode and its collector as well as the polymer electrolyte. A lateral end of the anode sheet extends beyond corresponding ends of the cathode and the collector to constitute a projecting zone. A metallic layer consisting of at least one rigid metal which is compatible with lithium is in electrical contact with the lateral end of the anode sheet but without electronic contact with the other components of the cell. The metallic layer constitutes the external terminal of the generator when the latter is in non-finished condition. According to a variant, a conductive and cohesive intermediate metallic zone, which consists of lithium or lithium rich ductile alloys is in intimate contact with the lateral end of the anode sheet and the metallic layer mentioned above is therefore in electrical contact with the lateral end of the anode sheet by means of the intermediate zone of lithium. Generators provided with such contact outlet as well as a process for the preparation of these contact outlets are described.

The optical system, which is comprised of a thin layer of ion conducting, macromolecular material, or solid polymer electrolyte sandwiched between two electrodes presenting each a conducting deposition carried by a support plate such that at least one of the conductor depositions and the associated support plate are transparent, is heated by applying between the conductor depositions of said electrodes an electric voltage signal of which at least one portion includes an alternating component which has an amplitude between 0.05 and 100 volts and a frequency lower than 5 kHz and preferably between 2 and 2000 Hz so as to generate within said optical system an alternating ionic current susceptible of producing a heating of the ion conducting macromolecular material by Joule effect. The optical system to be heated, which may be an electrochromium device, may have particularly a glazing type structure or a mirror type structure.

A method of producing carbon-13 using CF.sub.2 HCl as the feedstock (substrate) material in which the CF.sub.2 HCl is enriched up to a first level of C-13 by I.R. laser photodissociation and then to 90-99% C-13 by a second exchange process. In the preferred arrangement the second stage is a chemical exchange process.

The invention concerns a detector for anhydrides, present in the air or stack gases, which comprises a solid state electrolyte element containing oxy-anions of the particular anhydride to be detected. This solid state element is provided with metal areas to which potentiometric measuring means are connected. The detecting element is, preferably, sintered and may consist of one or several juxtaposed solid state compounds, according as the reference source is a gas or a solid state electrode, respectively. The electrolyte element is heated to a temperature not exceeding its fusion point. In addition, particular arrangements are provided to compensate for the oxygen content variations in air due to varying measurement conditions.
