  • SOLID ACID ELECTROLYTES FOR ELECTROCHEMICAL DEVICES
    Publication number: 20090075149
    Abstract: Improved solid acid electrolyte materials, methods of synthesizing such materials, and electrochemical devices incorporating such materials are provided. The stable electrolyte material comprises a solid acid capable undergoing rotational disorder of oxyanion groups and capable of extended operation at elevated temperatures, that is, solid acids having hydrogen bonded anion groups; a superprotonic, trigonal, tetragonal, or cubic, disordered phase; and capable of being operating at temperatures of ˜100° C. and higher.
    Type: Application
    Filed: October 27, 2008
    Publication date: March 19, 2009
    Inventors: Sossina M. Haile, Calum Chisholm, Ryan B. Merle, Dane A. Boysen, Sekharipuram R. Narayanan
