    摘要: A solid ionic conducting material for use in an electrochemical device comprises an oxyhydroxide or hydrated oxide derived from of an oxide with a perovskite, Brownmillerite, layered oxide, and/or K4CdCl6 structure, the elemental composition of the initial oxide being selected to provide suitable conduction properties for the derived anhydrous or hydrated oxyhydroxide or hydrated oxide. A method of making such a solid ionic conducting material, including treatment with water, and an electrochemical device incorporating such a solid ionic conducting material (optionally as an electrolyte) are also disclosed.

    摘要: An electrolyte for an electrochemical device comprises an aqueous salt solution, wherein a sufficient quantity of the salt is dissolved therein for the solution to be saturated; and a water- absorbent polymer. The water-absorbent polymer may be dissolved in the aqueous solution. The solution may be an over-saturated aqueous salt solution. The electrolyte may be incorporated into an electrochemical device comprising electrodes. The electrolyte may be made by heating a water-containing liquid to a temperature near and below its boiling point; maintaining the temperature of the liquid whilst adding a water-absorbent polymer to the liquid and dissolving a salt into the liquid until a saturated solution is formed; and cooling the solution to room temperature.

    摘要: A composition for catalysis of a Haber-Bosch process to produce ammonia; a process employing the composition and an anion vacant lattice for use in the process. The composition comprises an anion vacant lattice and a Haber-Bosch catalyst (e.g. Fe or Ru). Suitable anion vacant lattices include oxynitrides and oxides, which may be doped or undoped, including Ce a M b O 2-X N Y (Formula III) M is one or more elements with a valence lower than 4. "a" and "b" are independently in the range 0.05 to 0.95, with the proviso that "a" and "b" together sum to (approximately). X is greater than 0 and less than 2. Y is greater than zero and less than or equal to X.
