Ion implantation of highly corrosive electrolyte battery components

Patent Muller, Rolf H [Berkeley, CA]; Zhang, Shengtao [Berkeley, CA]

A method of producing corrosion resistant electrodes and other surfaces in corrosive batteries using ion implantation is described. Solid electrically conductive material is used as the ion implantation source. Battery electrode grids, especially anode grids, can be produced with greatly increased corrosion resistance for use in lead acid, molten salt, end sodium sulfur.

High current capacity electrical corrosive electrolyte battery electrical interconnection system

Patent Ward, E J; Ward, II, T C

This patent describes a battery electrical connection system for use with corrosive electrolyte batteries. It comprises: battery terminals, each being integrally attached to a plate strap within a battery; conductor cables, each securely cast and engaged into one of the battery terminals to form an electrical connection; conductor cable insulation; battery seals integral with and extending the exterior of the battery over the electrical connections, wherein the seals electrically and chemically isolate each of the electrical connections; a conductor cable terminal lug connector; and an insulated ungrounded connector.
Secondary battery with indate ion in the electrolyte

Patent Kawakami, A

Copper sheets were washed, amalgamated, and electroplated with zinc to form anodes. Carbonyl nickel powder was sintered onto nickel screens to form cathodes. InO/sub 2//sup -/ was added to the KOH electrolyte in an attempt to prevent the formation of spongy zinc during recharging of a battery constructed from these electrodes. After fifteen cycles, the test battery had lost almost none of its capacity. A secondary air battery showed similar results. (RWR)
Electrolyte materials containing highly dissociated metal ion salts

Patent Lee, H S; Geng, L; Skotheim, T A

The present invention relates to metal ion salts which can be used in electrolytes for producing electrochemical devices, including both primary and secondary batteries, photoelectrochemical cells and electrochromic displays. The salts have a low energy of dissociation and may be dissolved in a suitable polymer to produce a polymer solid electrolyte or in a polar aprotic liquid solvent to produce a liquid electrolyte. The anion of the salts may be covalently attached to polymer backbones to produce polymer solid electrolytes with exclusive cation conductivity. 2 figs.
Rechargeable lithium-organic electrolyte battery having overcharge protection and method of providing overcharge protection for a lithium-organic electrolyte battery. Patent Application

Patent Behl, W K

The general object of this invention is to provide overcharge protection for rechargeable lithium-organic electrolyte batteries. A further object is to prevent the undesireable oxidation of organic solvents during the overcharge of the rechargeable lithium-organic electrolyte batteries. It has now been found that the aforementioned objects can be attained by including lithium bromide in the electrolyte to provide overcharge protection during the overcharging of rechargeable lithium-organic electrolyte cells. More particularly, it has been found that during overcharging, lithium bromide will be oxidized at lower potentials than the organic solvent and thereby provide overcharge protection and prevent the undesireable oxidation ofmore » organic solvents.« less
