摘要:
An electrode includes an electrically conductive matrix containing a disulfide group, wherein an S—S bond of the disulfide group is cleaved by electrochemical reduction and reformed by electrochemical oxidation. A plurality of carbon nanotubes are substantially disentangled and dispersed in the electrically conductive matrix. The electrode can be used as a cathode of a lithium battery. A method for producing disentangled carbon nanotubes includes the steps of: adding a plurality of aggregates of carbon nanotubes to a liquid; and providing sheer force (e.g. passing the liquid through a narrow gap at a high speed) onto the liquid for disentangling the aggregates of carbon nanotubes therein.

A cooling structure having a sufficient cooling efficiency in cooling an electricity storage device while securing a living space in a vehicle cabin when installed in a compact vehicle having a short distance from a rear seat to the rear end of the vehicle. A battery is contained in an IPU installed in the vehicle. The cooling structure for the battery has an air inlet opened into the vehicle cabin, an air intake duct extending from the air inlet to the IPU and a cover disposed to cover the air inlet and having a hole communicating the air intake duct with the inner side of the vehicle cabin. The air inlet has an opening inclined toward the inner side of the vehicle cabin in one side section of a rear portion of the vehicle cabin near a C-pillar located obliquely posterior to a rear seat.

Provided is a battery having a high charging/discharging capacity density as compared with a conventional one. The battery (1) is characterized by comprising a positive electrode (2), a negative electrode (3), and an electrolytic solution interposed between the positive electrode (2) and the negative electrode (3) and formed by dissolving an electrolytic solution in a solvent, wherein the positive electrode (2) includes rubeanic acid or a rubeanic acid derivative as an active material and the solvent includes an ionic liquid. In the battery (1), it is possible to neutralize, by anions present in the ions, positive charges generated when rubeanic acid or the rubeanic acid derivative is oxidized. Therefore, rubeanic acid or the rubeanic acid derivative can take three states from an oxidant to a reductant, so that a high charging/discharging capacity density can be obtained in comparison with a conventional one.
