Solid ionically conducting polymer material for electrochemical cells
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11949105B2) discloses an electrochemical cell designed for producing electrical energy through an electrochemical reaction. The cell includes an anode and a cathode, with at least one of them containing a solid ionically conducting polymer material. This polymer material allows for the conduction of hydroxyl ions during the electrochemical reaction, with a specific OH- diffusivity requirement at a certain temperature range.
Furthermore, the patent claims cover various configurations and compositions of the electrochemical cell, including the presence of manganese dioxide in the cathode, the use of liquid electrolyte containing hydroxyl ions, and the option for a solid-state cell without any liquid electrolyte. The patent also details different scenarios based on the type of anode material used, such as zinc or aluminum, and whether the cell is intended for primary or rechargeable (secondary) use. Overall, the patent provides a comprehensive overview of the design and components of an innovative electrochemical cell aimed at efficient energy production through electrochemical reactions.
