摘要： A lead-acid battery according to the invention contains an electrode grid structure that comprises dispersoid-containing lead having relatively high strength and good corrosion resistance. The dispersoid particles exemplarily are selected from the oxides, nitrides and carbides that are substantially insoluble in lead and in sulfuric acid of concentration suitable for use in a lead-acid battery. Significantly, the dispersoid-containing lead has average grain size of at least 20 .mu.m. In consequence of the relatively large grain size, the total length of grain boundaries exposed to electrolyte is relatively small, and corrosion resistance is improved. Exemplary techniques for forming the dispersoid-containing lead are disclosed.

摘要： A cell-array battery is disclosed having end-of-life cells that can be activated at the end of a battery's life to, illustratively, neutralize the toxic chemicals inside the battery. In one embodiment, neutralization of the electrolyte in the battery is achieved through immobilization of the electrolyte at the end of the life of the battery by, for example, a vitrification process. Using electrowetting techniques, the electrolyte is made to contact a neutralizing substance between the nanostructures in one or more end-of-life cells, thus causing a reaction that results in the electrolyte becoming immobilized by, for example, a polymer substance. In a second illustrative embodiment, when the electrolyte contacts the substance between the nanostructures in one or more end-of-life cells, the chemical composition of the electrolyte is changed into a less toxic chemical compound, thus neutralizing the electrolyte.

摘要： Apparatus and method for increasing the concentration of a chemical substance in a fluid comprise a micro-fluidic elongated channel formed in a substrate, with the channel being in fluid-flow communication with an ambient region along its elongated dimension. In general, the fluid includes first and second chemical substances having different vapor pressures. The apparatus includes an evaporation controller for increasing the evaporation rate of the fluid from the channel into the ambient region, thereby increasing the concentration of the higher vapor pressure (HVP) substance in the portion of the fluid remaining in the channel and increasing the concentration of the lower vapor pressure (LVP) substance in the portion of the fluid evaporated into the ambient region.
