Abstract: Provided is a composite cathode comprising (a) an electroactive sulfur-containing material; (b) a crosslinked polymer formed from a reaction of a polymeric material having carboxyl groups and a crosslinking agent; and (c) a conductive filler. The crosslinked polymer improves the flexibility, adhesion, and cycle life of the composite cathode in electrochemical cells comprising the cathode. Also provided are electrochemical cells comprising such cathodes and methods for preparing such cathodes and electrochemical cells.

Abstract: A coating composition for producing electrically conductive coatings, containing one or more electrically conductive pigments and an organic binder, as well as, optionally, additives and auxiliary agents, in an aqueous solvent, which organic binder contains a copolymer dispersible in water and based on (meth)acrylate- and silylated, unsaturated monomers. The total content of organic solvents in the composition does not exceed 0.5% by weight. The coatings thus obtained are especially well-bonded and resistant to mechanical influences and to solvents, and exhibit suitable conductivity (sheet resistivity) values.

Abstract: The present invention pertains to solid composite cathodes which comprise (a) an electroactive sulfur-containing cathode material which, in its oxidized state, comprises a polysulfide moiety of the formula, —Sm—, wherein m is an integer from 3 to 10; and (b) a cationic polymer comprising quaternary ammonium salt groups. The present invention also pertains to electric current producing cells comprising such solid composite cathodes, and methods of making such solid composite cathodes and electric current producing cells.
