Abstract
Boron redox species can provide electrochemical cells for battery or energy storage systems that are characterized by favorable specific energy, energy density, capital and operating cost, recharge efficiency, safety, environmental impact, serviceability and longevity.
Claims69
An electrochemical storage medium comprising a carrier mixed with a borohydride compound, the borohydride compound being oxidizable to an oxidized boron-containing compound concurrent with the generation of an electric current, the storage medium being in electrical contact with an electrode for carrying current generated during that oxidation.
A battery comprising an anode and a cathode in electrical communication,
- the anode comprising a carrier mixed with a borohydride compound, the borohydride compound being oxidizable to an oxidized boron-containing compound concurrent with the discharge of the battery.
