MEANS FOR REDUCING SELF-DISCHARGE IN A ZINC HALIDE STORAGE CELL

摘要

A rechargeable zinc halide electrolyte electrochemical cell including a laminate of the sequence a) an electrically conducting chemically inert material, b) a bilayer membrane matrix formed from a pair of hydrophilic polymer matrices in each of which is immobilized zinc halide electrolyte, c) an electrically conducting layer adapted to adsorb and absorb halogen, and d) a layer capable of reversibly absorbing and releasing bromine disposed between the membrane matrices for reducing self-discharging in the cell.
