Abstract

A battery assembly of the consumable metal anode type has now been constructed for ready assembly as well as disassembly. In a non-conductive and at least substantially inert cell body, space is provided for receiving an open-structured, non-consumable anode cage. The cage has an open top for facilitating insertion of an anode. A modular cathode is used, comprising a peripheral current conductor frame clamped about a grid reinforced air cathode in sheet form. The air cathode may be double gridded. The cathode frame can be sealed, during assembly, with electrolyte-resistant-sealant as well as with adhesive. The resulting cathode module can be assembled outside the cell body and readily inserted therein, or can later be easily removed therefrom. 6 figs.

Electrode for current-limited cell, cell including the electrode method for using the cell and a method of making the electrode

Patent Reddy, N.R.K.V.; Anderson, E.B.; Taylor, E.J.

This patent describes a method for making a sheet-shaped, current-limited, catalytic, gas-sensing electrode having a flexural strength of at least about 2000 kilopascals. It comprises: bringing an exposed face of a self-supporting, electrically conducting sheet having a thickness of at least about 30 micrometers and a flexural strength of at least 2000 kilopascals into contact with an electrolyte containing ions of a catalytic metal, the electrolyte being in electrical contact with a counterelectrode, applying a pulsed-D.C. current to the self-supporting sheet an the counterelectrode, until catalytic metal has been deposited on the exposed face of the electrically-conducting sheet, thereby providingmore »« less
Fuel cell anode electrode, method of making the fuel cell anode electrode, and fuel cell containing the fuel cell anode electrode

Patent Perry, J.

A fuel cell anode electrode for use in fuel cells utilizing fuel electrolyte mixtures of methanol in potassium hydroxide electrolyte and ethylene glycol in potassium hydroxide electrolyte is made by pressing a paste mix of noble metal powder, graphite, and teflon onto a screen current collector, drying the electrode so formed, cathodically charging the electrode at a current density of about 2 1/2 to 10 mA/sq. cm for about 2 to about 6 minutes to deposit lead through electrolysis using a saturated solution of lead chloride, anodically charging the electrode for about 2 to about 12 minutes to oxidize themore »« less
Fuel cell, a fuel cell electrode, and a method for making a fuel cell electrode

Patent Breault, R.D.

This patent describes a process for applying a catalyst layer to a surface of a porous substrate to form a fuel cell electrode. The substrate having an upper surface and a lower surface. It comprises: contacting the upper surface of the substrate with a mixture comprising a hydrophobic polymer and a catalyst; and establishing a selected distribution of reduced pressure over the lower surface of the porous substrate to cause the mixture to be deposited in layer of non-uniform thickness on the upper surface of the porous substrate. the thickness increasing along one axis of the upper surface so thatmore »« less
Scintillator assembly for alpha radiation detection and method of making the assembly

Patent McElhaney, S.A.; Bauer, M.L.; Chiles, M.M.

A scintillator assembly for use in the detection of alpha radiation includes a body of optically-transparent epoxy and an amount of phosphor particles embedded within the body adjacent one surface thereof. When making the body, the phosphor particles are mixed with the epoxy when in an uncured condition and permitted to settle to the bottom surface of a mold within which the epoxy/phosphor mixture is contained. When the mixture subsequently cures to form a hardened body, the one surface of the body which cured against the bottom surface of the mold is coated with a thin layer of opaque materialmore »« less
