Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention relates to an alkaline cation-conducting ceramic membrane covered, over at least a portion of the surface thereof, with a cation-conducting organic polyelectrolyte layer that is insoluble and chemically stable in pH-basic water. The invention also relates to an electrochemical device including such a membrane as a solid electrolyte in contact with a liquid electrolyte formed of an alkali metal hydroxide aqueous solution.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An electrochemical device comprising: a solid, ceramic membrane electrolyte a liquid aqueous solution of alkali-metal hydroxide electrolyte, wherein the ceramic membrane electrolyte is from 30 μm to 500 μm in thickness, the ceramic membrane electrolyte conducts Li + ions, at least a first surface of the ceramic membrane covered with an organic cation-conductive halopolymer layer, wherein the ceramic electrolyte membrane does not contact the…
