    摘要: The present disclosure provides a heat energy-powered electrochemical cell including an anode, a cathode, and a solid metal polymer/glass electrolyte. The solid metal polymer/glass electrolyte includes between 1% and 50% metal polymer by weight as compared to total solid metal polymer/glass electrolyte weight and between 50% and 90% solid glass electrolyte by weight as compared to the total solid metal polymer/glass electrolyte weight. The solid glass electrolyte includes a working cation and an electric dipole. The heat energy-powered electrochemical cells may be used to capture heat from a variety of sources, including solar hear, waste heat, and body heat. The heat energy-powered electrochemical cells may be fabricated at large-area, thin cells.

    摘要: The present disclosure provides a rechargeable electrochemical cell including an electrolyte side, a cathode side, and a polymer/plasticizer. The electrolyte side includes a solid glass electrolyte including an electrolyte mobile cation and electric dipoles, as well as an anode including a metal of the electrolyte mobile cation and contacting the solid glass electrolyte at an anode:solid glass electrolyte interface. The cathode side includes a cathode including a cathode active material into which a cathode guest cation is reversibly extracted/inserted. The cathode active material has a voltage versus lithium (Li) metal of between 3V and 15V. The polymer/plasticizer contacts the solid glass electrolyte at a solid glass electrolyte:polymer/plasticizer interface and the cathode at a polymer/plasticizer:cathode interface such that the cathode guest cation is confined to the cathode side and the electrolyte mobile cation is confined to the anode side during charge and discharge of the electrochemical cell.
