Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Ultra-high purity zinc bromide and quaternary ammonium bromides suitable for use in zinc-bromine batteries, and methods for making same, are provided.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
We claim: 1. A method consisting essentially of combining elemental bromine with at least about 1 percent molar excess feedstock zinc metal to about 10 percent molar excess feedstock zinc metal, which feedstock zinc metal contains transition metal impurities comprising one or more of greater than 500 ppm Pb, at least 3 ppm Cu, and at least 1 ppm Fe, and producing an isolable zinc bromide composition comprising less than 1 ppm Pb, less than 1 ppm Cu, and less than 1 ppm Fe, which me…
