Electrochemical photovoltaic cells and electrodes

Patent Skotheim, T.A.

Improved electrochemical photovoltaic cells and electrodes for use therein, particularly electrodes employing amorphous silicon or polyacetylene coating are produced by a process which includes filling pinholes or porous openings in the coatings by electrochemical oxidation of selected monomers to deposit insulating polymer in the openings.
Metal/air cells and improved air electrodes for use therein

Patent Buzzelli, E.S.

Air electrodes for use in electrochemical energy cells comprise a hydrophilic layer and a hydrophobic layer laminated to it. The hydrophilic layer essentially comprises a hydrophilic composite which includes an oxygen absorption/reduction carbon; a material selected from the group consisting of CuWO/sub 4/, NiWO/sub 4/, CoWO/sub 4/, and WC with 1 to 20 wt percent Co for a unifunctional electrode, or WS/sub 2/, WC, and WC with 1 to 20 wt percent Co for a bi-functional electrode; and a nonwetting agent containing a polytetrafluoroethylene. A metal current collector is molded into the composite to form a substantially flat hydrophilic layer.more »« less
