Abstract
An electric storage battery having a solid phase Fe(VI) salt cathode. The anode may be any of a large variety of conventional anode materials capable of being oxidized. The cathode and anode are located in separate half-cells which are in electrochemcial contact trough an electrically neutral ionic conductor. Optionally means may be provided for impeding the transfer of chemically reactive species between the two half-cells. Also optionally gas separator means may be provided for preventing the build-up of oxygen, hydrogen and other gases.
Claims36
A storage battery, comprising two half-cells which are in electrochemical contact with one another through an electrically neutral ionic conductor, wherein one of said half-cells comprises an anode and the other half-cell comprises a cathode in form of a solid-phase Fe(VI) salt in an amount of at least 1% of the half-cell weight, whereby electrical discharge of charge is accomplished via electrochemical charge insertion to or from a valence of iron salt less than Fe(VI).
