Abstract
A use, in an electrolyte for a battery, of an additive which includes at least one organocatalyst. Also, a method of preventing the contact between the anode and residual water in a battery and/or reducing the level of gas in a battery. Moreover, an electrolyte for a battery, including an additive which includes at least one organocatalyst. Moreover, a battery including an electrolyte which includes an additive which comprises at least one organocatalyst.
Claims17
A method of preventing contact between the anode and residual water in a battery and/or reducing the level of gas in a battery, the method comprising
- providing a battery comprising an anode, a cathode, and an electrolyte, wherein the anode comprises reactive groups, and wherein the electrolyte comprises at least one carbonate and at least one organocatalyst;
- and
- facilitating a reaction between the at least one carbonate and the reactive groups with the at least one organocatalyst to form a protective layer on the surface of the anode.
A battery comprising:
- an electrolyte;
- an anode;
- and
- a cathode
- wherein the electrolyte comprises:
- an additive which comprises at least one organocatalyst;
- and
- at least one carbonate, and
- wherein the anode comprises reactive groups.
