Abstract
Provided herein are nanostructured electrode separators comprising metal organic materials capable of attaching to one or more electrodes and electrically insulating at least one electrode while allowing migration of ionic charge carriers through the nanostructured electrode separator. Methods of using such electrode separators include positioning a nanostructured electrode separator between two electrodes of an electrochemical cell.
Claims17
A nanostructured electrode separator, consisting essentially of:
- a metal organic material,
- wherein the nanostructured electrode separator is attached to a surface of a manganese oxide electrode, is a phase-pure material, and serves as an electrical insulator between the manganese oxide electrode and a second electrode and has an average pore diameter less than 20 nm and greater than 10 nm.
An electrochemical cell comprising:
- a first electrode;
- a nanostructured electrode separator consisting essentially of a metal organic material, wherein the nanostructured electrode separator is phase-pure and attached to a surface of the first electrode and has an average pore diameter less than 20 nm and greater than 10 nm;
- and
- a second electrode electrically insulated from the first electrode by the nanostructured electrode separator, wherein one of the first electrode and second electrode is a manganese oxide electrode.
