Abstract
An apparatus which can include a cathode membrane for a power source is provided. The power source can include a current collector which can include a porous substrate. The power source can include a layer that coats the porous substrate to provide a catalyst for the cathode membrane. The layer can be formed from a mixture of hausmannite and cation intercalated manganese oxide.
Claims20
An apparatus, comprising:
- a cathode membrane for a power source comprising;
- a current collector comprising a porous substrate;
- and
- a layer that coats the porous substrate to provide a catalyst for the cathode membrane, the layer formed from a mixture of hausmannite and cation intercalated manganese oxide.

A system, comprising:
- a power source electronically to couple with an electrical component to provide power to the electrical component, the power source comprising:
- an anode;
- an electrolyte;
- and
- a cathode membrane comprising:
- a current collector comprising a porous substrate;
- and
- a layer that coats the porous substrate to provide a catalyst for the cathode membrane, the layer formed from a mixture of hausmannite and cation intercalated manganese oxide;
- the electrolyte to couple with the anode and the cathode membrane to convert energy stored in the power source to electrical energy to provide the power to the electrical component.
6 more elements
A method of manufacturing an air cathode, comprising:
- forming a sodium formate solution;
- forming a potassium permanganate solution;
- mixing the sodium formate solution with the potassium permanganate solution to create a mixture of hausmannite and potassium intercalated manganese oxide to create a catalyst.
