Abstract

A battery containing a zinc electrode with a porous separator between the anode and cathode. The separator is a microporous substrate carrying therewith an organic solvent of benzene, toluene or xylene with a tertiary organic amine therein, wherein the tertiary amine has three carbon chains each containing from six to eight carbon atoms. The separator reduces the rate of zinc dentrite growth in the separator during battery operation prolonging battery life by preventing short circuits. A method of making the separator is also disclosed.

Zinc electrode containing an additive to reduce gassing at the zinc electrode in a heat-sterilized silver--zinc alkaline battery. [HgS or HgS-PbS]

Patent Nordblom, G.F.; James, H.I.

Sterilization of Ag/Zn batteries at 145/sup 0/ is detrimental to HgO, the usual additive. Since HgS can stand this treatment, zinc electrodes were prepared by mixing HgS about 1:20 with ZnO powder and compressing this mixture into a silver grid. An HgS--PbS additive is also feasible. (RWR)
Secondary battery separator and electrode assembly

Patent Duncan, E.C.

An electric battery has a positive electrode and a negative electrode and a separator between the electrodes. The separator comprises a sheet of electrolyte-permeable insulating material of the type which exhibits a substantial increase in thickness when wet. The separator extends above the electrodes. At least one of the free-end portions extending above the electrodes is folded over upon itself at least once above the electrodes to provide at least one additional thickness of the sheet material above the electrodes. Upon increasing in thickness when wet with electrolyte the material will extend over the top of an adjacent electrode.
Electrode for primary or secondary battery and method for producing such an electrode. [intermetallic compound which absorbs and releases H reversibly]

Patent Boter, P.A.

An electrode for a primary or secondary battery is described. Its electrochemically active part comprises a porous layer of a hydride of an intermetallic compound which is sintered to a metallic support, the pores being filled with a hydrophylic water-insoluble macromolecular material. 2 figures.
