Abstract

An improved electrical energy storage system comprising, at least one cell having a positive electrode and a negative electrode separated by aqueous electrolyte, a store means wherein halogen hydrate is formed and stored as part of an aqueous material having a liquid level near the upper part of the store, means for circulating electrolyte through the cell, conduit means for transmitting halogen gas formed in the cell to a hydrate forming apparatus associated with the store, said hydrate forming apparatus including, a pump to which there is introduced quantities of the halogen gas and chilled water, said pump being located in the store and an outlet conduit leading from the pump and being substantially straight and generally vertically disposed and having an exit discharge into the gas space above the liquid level in the store, and wherein said hydrate forming apparatus is highly efficient and very resistant to plugging or jamming. The disclosure also relates to an improved method for producing chlorine hydrate in zinc chlorine batteries.

Preparation of: I. intercalative metal oxide/conductive polymer composites as electrode materials for rechargeable batteries; II. sodium rich manganese oxide hydrate with capacity for aqueous Na-ion electrochemical energy storage

Patent Xiaowei, Teng

The present invention is directed at intercalative metal oxide/conductive polymer composites suitable for use as electrode materials for rechargeable batteries. The composites can be prepared by agitation of the metal oxide and the conductive polymer in aqueous media. The present invention is also directed at a sodium rich layered manganese oxide hydrate prepared by annealing manganese (II, III) oxide and sodium hydroxide. The sodium rich manganese (III, IV) oxide so formed indicates an enhanced capacity for Na-ion storage suitable for the use of electrode materials for aqueous energy storage.

Method of improved performance in metal electrodes for batteries

Patent Dasgupta, Neil P.; Wood, Kevin N.; Chen, Kuan-Hung; ...

Disclosed are methods for pre-conditioning or pre-treating the surface of a metal (e.g., lithium) electrode such that the cycle life and efficiency of the electrode within an electrochemical cell are improved through the prevention of dendrite growth. The pretreatment process includes the use of an alternating current to modify the surface properties of the metal electrode, such that a more uniform flux of metal ions is transferred across the electrode-electrolyte Interface in subsequent electrodeposition and electrodissolution processes. As a result, an electrode treated with such a process exhibits improved performance and durability, including markedly lower overpotentials and largely improved metalmore » « less

Sodium and potassium ion batteries with halogen salts

Patent Lu, Yuhao; Vail, Sean; Zhao, Xin; ...

A sodium or potassium battery is provided, prior to an initial charge and discharge cycle, with a halogen salt additive. As is conventional, the battery is made up of the following components: an anode, a cathode, and an electrolyte. In addition, the battery includes a halogen salt (MX), where M is a metal and X is a halogen element. The halogen salt is added to the anode, the cathode, the electrolyte, or combinations thereof. The concentration MX with respect to the component(s) to which it is added is in the range of 0.01% to 10% in weight. The element Xmore » « less
