Abstract:
STABLE HIGH SURFACE AREA LEAD FIBERS COMPOSED OF A SINGLE ELONGATED CHAIN OF CUBIC GROWTHS INTERCONNECTED AND GROWN ALONG ONE DIRECTION. THE LEAD FIBERS ARE PREPARED BY THE ELECTROLYSIS OF A SOLUBLE LEAD SALT-CONTAINING ELECTROLYTE SOLUTION UNDER CONDITIONS OF EXTREMELY HIGH
CATHODE CURRENT DENSITY. GALVANIC CELL ELECTRODES ARE FABRICATED USING THE LEAD FIBERS BY COMPRESSION MOLDING TECHNIQUES.
Abstract:
A galvanic cell having an aqueous alkaline electrolyte, a zinc anode, a reducible cathode and an inhibiting amount of a cyanide compound which, together with mercury, inhibits the corrosion of the zinc anode and thereby reduces the gassing associated therewith.
Abstract:
A cathode mix for solid electrolyte cells contains electronically conductive material, the selected electrolyte, which has an ionic conductivity of at least 1 X 10 3 ohm 1 cm 1 at cell operating temperature, and active cathode material composed of an oxygen rich material having a reducible element which upon reduction yields at least two electrons. The active cathode material is represented by the formula Xa.Yb.Oc wherein X is an element of Groups 1a and 2a, Y is a halogen or a member of the group Mn, Cr, Pb, Fe and Se and O is oxygen.
Abstract:
A RECHARGEABLE ALKALINE GALVANIC CELL HAVING A ZINCATECONTAINING ELECTROLYTE WHICH COMPRISES AN AQUEOUS ALKALINE MEDIUM CONTAINING DISSOLVED ZINCATE IONS IN AN AMOUNT SUCH THAT THE ELECTROLYTE CONTAINS AT LEAST ABOUT 2 WEIGHT PERCENT ZINC AND AN ION OF AN AMPHOTERIC METAL, I.E., A MOLYBDATE, ARSENATE OR TUNGSTATE.
Abstract:
Process for the preparation of stable, high surface area, virtually pure zinc filaments and in particular zinc fibers and needles having a unique crystal structure consisting essentially of one or more single crystals preferentially orientated with an ''''a'''' axis parallel to the axis of the filament. The zinc fibers and needles are prepared by the electrolysis of a soluble zinc salt-containing electrolyte solution under conditions of extremely high cathode current density.
