摘要:
A hybrid electrode for a high power, high energy, electrical storage device contains both a high-energy electrode material (42) and a high-rate electrode material (44). The two materials are deposited on a current collector (40), and the electrode is used to make an energy storage device that exhibits both the high-rate capability of a capacitor and the high energy capability of a battery. The two materials can be co-deposited on the current collector in a variety of ways, either in superimposed layers, adjacent layers, intermixed with each other or one material coating the other to form a mixture that is then deposited on the current collector.
摘要:
Electrodes for electrochemical capacitor are modified with a metal macrocyclic complex made up of phthalocyanine or porphyrin ligands bound to a transition metal to achieve improved conductivity, reversibility, and charge storage capacity. The electrode is formed from a metal base and coated with an oxide, nitride or carbide of a transition metal or with a conductive polymer. This coating is modified with the metal macrocyclic complex. Suitable metal macrocyclic complexes are iron phthalocyanine (FePc), iron meso-tetra(N-methyl-4-phenyl)porphyrin (FeTPP) or cobalt protoporphyrin (CoPP).
摘要:
A method for making high power electrochemical charge storage devices, provides for depositing an electrically conducting polymer (16), (18), onto a non-noble metal substrate (10), which has been prepared by treatment with a surfactant. Using this method, high power, high energy electrochemical charge storage devices may be fabricated with highly reproducible low cost.
摘要:
An electrochemical cell is provided with a first and second electrode assemblies (10) (11), and an electrolyte (15) disposed therebetween. The electrodes may either be of the same or different materials and may be fabricated from ruthenium, iridium, cobalt, tungsten, vanadium, iron, molybdenum, nickel, silver, zinc, and combinations thereof. The electrode assemblies are fabricated by depositing a layer (16) of a conductive ink adhesive on a surface of a current collecting substrate (12). Thereafter, a layer of powdered active material (18) is impregnated onto the surface of the conductive ink layer.
摘要:
An electrochemical battery cell (10) including a zinc electrode (20), and may be fabricated with an electrolyte (50) system including an electrolyte active species and a modifier. The electrolyte active species is typically a metal hydroxide such as KOH or NaOH, while the modifier may be a porphine such as a metal porphine, and/or a polymeric material. The polymeric material may be, for example, a polyvinyl resin such as polyvinyl alcohol or polyvinyl acetate. The resulting electrolyte typically includes between 3 and 10 weight percent of the polyvinyl resin, 5 and 50 weight percent of the metal hydroxide, and between 1 PPM and 1 wt % of the modifier. Employing such an electrolyte in a cell including a zinc electrode results in an energy storage device having improved power density and substantially longer cycle life.

An electrochemical cell is provided with first (10) and second (11) electrodes and a solid polymer electrolyte (15) disposed therebetween. The electrodes include a current collecting layer, a layer of electrode active material, and a layer of an electrically conductive, polymeric protection material disposed therebetween. The protective layer protects, for example, the current collecting layer from the deleterious effects of the acid or alkaline electrolyte active species found in most electrochemical cells. The protective layer is formed of an intermetallic compound dispersed through a layer of appropriately chosen polymeric material.

摘要:
An electrochemical cell is provided with first (10) and second (11) electrodes and a solid polymer electrolyte (15) disposed therebetween. The solid polymer electrolyte is preferably fabricated by providing a linear powdered polymeric precursor material which is thereafter heated to temperatures sufficient to drive off moisture and in the presence of an electrolyte active species. The electrolyte active species is preferably an acidic electrolyte active species which has the effect of protonating the powdered polymeric precursor material. Electrochemical cells fabricated using these devices demonstrate performance characteristics far better than those available in the prior art.
