Abstract: Disclosed are methods and compositions for alternatingly adsorbing and desorbing sorbate molecules by changing the adsorption affinity of polarizable molecular sorbent molecules attached to surfaces of conductors, attached to dielectric materials between the conductors, or attached to both. The conductors and optionally a dielectric material can be arranged as a capacitor.

Abstract: The approaches and apparatuses for fabricating cathodes can be adapted to improve control over cathode composition and to better accommodate batteries of any shape and their assembly. For example, a first solid having an alkali metal halide, a second solid having a transition metal, and a third solid having an alkali metal aluminum halide are combined into a mixture. The mixture can be heated in a vacuum to a temperature that is greater than or equal to the melting point of the third solid. When the third solid is substantially molten liquid, the mixture is compressed into a desired cathode shape and then cooled to solidify the mixture in the desired cathode shape.
