Title: Ice electrode electrolytic cell

Full Record
Other Related Research

Abstract

This invention relates to a method and apparatus for removing heavy metals from waste water, soils, or process streams by electrolytic cell means. The method includes cooling a cell cathode to form an ice layer over the cathode and then applying an electric current to deposit a layer of the heavy metal over the ice. The metal is then easily removed after melting the ice. In a second embodiment, the same ice-covered electrode can be employed to form powdered metals.

Electrolytic/fuel cell bundles and systems including a current collector in communication with an electrode thereof

Patent Hawkes, Grant L.; Herring, James S.; Stoots, Carl M.; ...

Electrolytic/fuel cell bundles and systems including such bundles include an electrically conductive current collector in communication with an anode or a cathode of each of a plurality of cells. A cross-sectional area of the current collector may vary in a direction generally parallel to a general direction of current flow through the current collector. The current collector may include a porous monolithic structure. At least one cell of the plurality of cells may include a current collector that surrounds an outer electrode of the cell and has at least six substantially planar exterior surfaces. The planar surfaces may extend alongmore » « less

Electrolyte formulations for electrochemical cells containing a silicon electrode

Patent Cheng, Gang; Strand, Deidre; Zhu, Ye; ...

Additives to electrolytes that enable the formation of comparatively more robust SEI films on silicon anodes. The SEI films in these embodiments are seen to be more robust in part because the batteries containing these materials have higher coulombic efficiency and longer cycle life than comparable batteries without such additives.

Low cost stable air electrode material for high temperature solid oxide electrolyte electrochemical cells

Patent Kuo, Lewis J. H. [Monroeville, PA]; Singh, Prabhakar [Export, PA]; Ruka, Roswell J [Churchill Boro, PA]; ...

A low cost, lanthanide-substituted, dimensionally and thermally stable, gas permeable, electrically conductive, porous ceramic air electrode composition of lanthanide-substituted doped lanthanum manganite is provided which is used as the cathode in high temperature, solid oxide electrolyte fuel cells and generators. The air electrode composition of this invention has a much lower fabrication cost as a result of using a lower cost lanthanide mixture, either a natural mixture or an unfinished lanthanide concentrate obtained from a natural mixture subjected to incomplete purification, as the raw material in place of part or all of the higher cost individual lanthanum. The mixed lanthanidemore » « less
