Patent number: 9401528Abstract: Electrochemical devices which incorporate cathode materials that include layered crystalline compounds for which a structural modification has been achieved which increases the diffusion rate of multi-valent ions into and out of the cathode materials. Examples in which the layer spacing of the layered electrode materials is modified to have a specific spacing range such that the spacing is optimal for diffusion of magnesium ions are presented. An electrochemical cell comprised of a positive intercalation electrode, a negative metal electrode, and a separator impregnated with a nonaqueous electrolyte solution containing multi-valent ions and arranged between the positive electrode and the negative electrode active material is described.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2013Date of Patent: July 26, 2016Assignee: PELLION TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Robert Ellis Doe, Craig Michael Downie, Christopher Fischer, George Hamilton Lane, Dane Morgan, Josh Nevin, Gerbrand Ceder, Kristin Aslaug Persson, David Eaglesham

Patent number: 9293790Abstract: A rechargable magnesium battery having an non-aqueous electrolyte is provided. The properties of the electrolyte include high conductivity, high Coulombic efficiency, and an electrochemical window that can exceed 3.5 V vs. Mg/Mg+2. The use of the electrolyte promotes the electrochemical deposition and dissolution of Mg without the use of any Grignard reagents, other organometallic materials, tetraphenyl borate, or tetrachloroaluminate derived anions. Other Mg-containing electrolyte systems that are expected to be suitable for use in secondary batteries are also described.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2013Date of Patent: March 22, 2016Assignee: PELLION TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Robert Ellis Doe, George Hamilton Lane, Robert E.
