摘要:
The method for fabricating an electrochemical device includes the following successive steps: a first stack successively including a first electrode and an electrically insulating electrolyte having a first main surface in contact with the first electrode and an opposite second main surface; a polymerisation step of the electrolyte so as to define at least a first area presenting a first degree of cross-linking and a first cross-linking density and a second area presenting a second degree of cross-linking different from the first degree of cross-linking and/or a second cross-linking density different from the first cross-linking density, said at least first and second areas connecting the first main surface with the second main surface; and placing the second electrode in contact with the electrolyte.

The present invention relates to in situ formation of a single-layered electrochemical cell comprising a full tri-layer battery structure containing a discrete positive electrode, solid state electrolyte, and negative electrode from self-assembled nanocomposites. The single layered cell makes it possible to fabricate cells in three dimensions resulting in a very high energy density power source within very small and/or complex dimensions.

Non-aqueous alkali metal (e.g., Li)/oxygen battery cells constructed with a protected anode that minimizes anode degradation and maximizes cathode performance by enabling the use of cathode performance enhancing solvents in the catholyte have negligible self-discharge and high deliverable capacity. In particular, protected lithium-oxygen batteries with non-aqueous catholytes have this improved performance.

摘要:
A method of forming an electrochemical cell is disclosed. The method comprises contacting a negative pole layer and a positive pole layer one with the other or with an optional layer interposed therebetween. The pole layers and the optional layer therebetween are selected to self-form an interfacial separator layer between the pole layers upon such contacting.
摘要:
A non-aqueous electrolyte including at least one ionically conducting salt, especially a lithium salt, a non-aqueous, anhydrous solvent for the ionically conductive salt, and at least one oxide in a particulate form, said oxide being selected such that it is not soluble in said solvent and such that it is water-free. The electrolyte can be used in a primary or secondary lithium battery, in a supercapacitor, in an electro-chromic display or in a solar cell.

摘要:
A gelling agent for use in an alkaline battery comprises a cross-linked polymer (A) formed with a (meth)acrylic acid (salt) as a principal constituent monomer unit, wherein the gelling agent allows an obtained gel (GA) to have a viscosity ratio (N1/N60), determined as follows, of 0.7 to 1.3, and includes components soluble in 37 wt % aqueous solution of potassium hydroxide that account for 30 wt % or less of the gelling agent: the viscosity ratio (N1/N60) of the gel (GA) is determined by preparing the gel (GA) by stirring 100 parts by weight of 37 wt % aqueous solution of potassium hydroxide, 2 parts by weight of the cross-linked polymer (A), and 200 parts by weight of zinc powder at 40° C. so as to be mixed uniformly, and measuring a viscosity (40° C., N1) of the gel (GA) after being left to stand at the same temperature for one day, and a viscosity (40° C., N60) of the gel (GA) after being left to stand at the same temperature for sixty days, according to JIS K7117-1: 1999. The foregoing gelling agent and an alkaline battery using the gelling agent exhibit excellent impact resistance and excellent long-term retention of discharge characteristics.
