Abstract: A lithium battery comprises at least a positive electrode containing a material whose lithium insertion and deinsertion potential is lower than or equal to 3.5 Volts in relation to the potential of the Li+/Li couple, a negative electrode and a non-aqueous electrolyte disposed between the positive and negative electrodes. The electrolyte comprises at least a lithium salt dissolved in an aprotic organic solvent wherein a polymerizable additive is added, chosen from carbazol and the derivatives thereof and being used to prevent the battery from operating as soon as the voltage at the terminal connections of the battery reaches a value resulting in polymerization of the additive.

Abstract: The invention relates to a micro-device for generating a multi-polar transverse field, or a micro-device for the filtration or the deflection or the focusing of charged particles, comprising n longitudinal conductive micro-beams (32, 34, 36, 38), of polygonal cross section, and arranged around a longitudinal axis (AA′).
