Abstract
A method of manufacturing an anode composition for use in an electrochemical cell in which the anode comprises an electrochemically active material, the method comprising the steps of mixing the electrochemically active material with an alkaline electrolyte solution, an organic surfactant, an indium compound, and a gelling agent, such that the indium compound or a portion thereof is added in an alkaline environment. In one embodiment, the surfactant is added after the electrolyte.
Claims26
A method of manufacturing an anode composition for use in a rechargeable electrochemical cell, wherein the anode comprises at least one electrochemically active material, the method comprising the steps of mixing said at least one electrochemically active material with an alkaline electrolyte solution, at least one organic surfactant, at least one indium compound, and at least one gelling agent, such that said at least one indium compound is mixed in an alkaline environment, and wherein the at least one organic surfactant is added with the electrolyte solution or after the electrolyte solution.
A method of manufacturing an anode composition for use in a rechargeable electrochemical cell, wherein the anode comprises at least one electrochemically active material, the method comprising the steps of mixing said at least one electrochemically active material with an alkaline electrolyte solution, at least one organic surfactant, at least one indium compound, and at least one gelling agent, such that said at least one indium compound is mixed in an alkaline environment, and wherein the at least one organic surfactant is added after the electrolyte solution.
The method of claim 10, wherein said first indium compound comprises at least 0.1% indium by weight to weight of zinc.
The method of claim 10, wherein said first indium compound comprises at least 0.01% indium by weight to weight of said zinc and said second indium compound comprises at least 0.05% by weight to weight of zinc.
