Abstract: Energy storage devices, battery cells, and rechargeable batteries of the present technology may include an anode and a cathode. The battery cells may include a separator positioned between the anode and the cathode. The battery cells may include an electrolyte incorporated with the anode and the cathode. The battery cells may also include a pseudo-reference electrode at least partially in contact with the electrolyte. The pseudo-reference electrode may be positioned between layers of the separator.

Abstract: Batteries are described that include a cathode material, and anode material, and a polymeric material that separates the cathode material from the anode material. The polymeric material has hydroxide ion conductivity of at least about 50 mS/cm, and a diffusion ration of hydroxide ions to at least one type of metal ion of at least about 10:1. Also described are methods of making a battery that include forming a layer of polymeric material between a first electrode and second electrode of the battery. In additional methods, the polymeric material is coated on at least one of the electrodes of the battery. In further methods, the polymeric material is admixed with at least one of the electrode materials to make a composite electrode material that is incorporated into the electrode.

Abstract: A redox mediator-containing electrolyte incorporated into a battery cell is described. The redox mediator-containing electrolyte includes water, at least one hydroxide salt dissolved in the water, and at least one redox mediator incorporated into the water. The at least one redox mediator increases at least one of a rate capability or a cycle life of the battery cell by at least 10%. Also described are battery cells that may include a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and the redox mediator-containing electrolyte. The battery cells may further include an ion-selective material that diffuses hydroxide ions through the material at a faster rate than at least one of the redox mediators.

Abstract: The disclosure is directed to an apparatus comprising a substrate and a composition disposed on the substrate. The catalyst comprises a polypropylene carbonate (PPC) and a catalyst selected from the group consisting of an acid with a pKa less than or equal to 1 in water, a phase transfer catalyst, and a metal salt. The substrate and composition can be used in insulators between batteries, for example in a battery pack.
