Solid rechargeable zinc halide electrolyte electrochemical cell

摘要

A rechargeable zinc halide electrolyte electrochemical cell and meethod of making the same is disclosed. The cell preferably includes an electrolyte solution containing a bromine complexing agent. The cell further includes a polymer matrix preferably made by the method of polymerizing a solution comprising an acrylic monomer in the presence of a crosslinking agent, a redox initiator and a zinc halide electrolyte to form the polymer matrix.
