Abstract:
An electrochemical cell is provided, including an anode, a cathode, and an electrolyte therebetween. The anode contains magnesium in a reduced state, and the cathode includes a rutile structure. The rutile structure is capable of intercalating magnesium ions received from the anode to produce a low voltage. The electrochemical cell is rechargeable. Additionally, the electrochemical cell is cheaper, more environmentally friendly and has a higher volume density than related art electrochemical cells. A method of manufacture is also provided.
Abstract:
A solid-electrolyte secondary battery is provided which comprises a positive electrode, negative electrode and a solid electrolyte provided between the electrodes. The solid electrolyte contains as a matrix polymer a vinylidene fluoride/hexafluoropropylene block copolymer. The film of the block copolymer has a high mechanical toughness and solvent retaining capability. Use of this block copolymer film as the matrix polymer of the solid electrolyte greatly improves the adhesive strength, load characteristic and low-temperature performance. In the block copolymer, the proportion of hexafluoropropylene should preferably 3 to 7.5 % by weight. The molecular weight should preferably be of over 550,000. A block copolymer of over 300,000 in Mw and under 550,000 in Mw may be used in combination with the above one.

Abstract:
A solid electrolytic secondary battery comprising a positive electrode, a negative electrode and a solid electrolyte interposed between the electrodes, wherein the solid electrolyte contains, as a matrix polymer, a block copolymer of vinylidene fluoride and hexafluoropropylene. The membrane of the block copolymer has a strong mechanical toughness and a high solvent retaining capability and, when used as a matrix polymer of the solid electrolyte, significantly improves an adhesion strength, load characteristics and low-temperature characteristics. A constitutional ratio of hexafluoropropylene in the block copolymer is preferably 3 to 7.5 wt.% with a molecular weight of not smaller than 550,000 and a copolymer having a weight-average molecular weight (Mw) of not smaller than 300,000 and smaller than 550,000 may be jointly used.
