1,142,586. Sintered ion conducting membranes. DOUGLAS AIRCRAFT CO. Inc. 11 Feb., 1966 [26 May, 1965], No. 6223/66. Heading C1J. An ion conducting membrane is formed by sintering a mixture of (1) a water-insoluble hydrous metal oxide plus an inorganic acid or a water-insoluble acid salt, and (2) a material retaining a sufficient amount of water and providing a water v.p. of 10-200 mm. at 100‹ C. when the membrane is incorporated in a fuel cell, treating the sinter with an inorganic acid and re-sintering. Specified are: Materials-alumino silicates, activated alumina, Al 2 (Se 4 ) 3 , H 2 SiO 3 , SiO 2 (gel or colloidal), P 2 O 5 , Cu(So 4 ) 3 , CaCl 2 and NH 4 acid phosphate; Acids-boric, phosphoric, molybdic, phosphomolybdic, tungstic and sulphuric; Oxides- Zr, Ti, Sb, W, Si, Sc, Bi, V, Mo, Cr and Al; Salts-Zr phosphate, and sulphate, Ti phosphate and molybdate, Sn phosphate and Th phosphate. The terms " hydrous metal oxide " and " acid salt " are defined. |
