Abstract: According to the invention, a particulate electrode material is provided, which has high energy density, safety and longevity (stability relative to degradation and material fatigue). Furthermore, the electrode material is distinguished both by high electrical and high ionic conductivity and consequently achieves very low resistance values. Furthermore, a method for coating particulate electrode material is provided according to the invention, with which method the electrode material according to the invention can be produced. Finally, uses of the electrode material according to the invention are demonstrated.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a lithium accumulator or a combination thereof with a double-layer capacitor which is distinguished by a solid material- or gel electrolyte and a binder made of inorganic-organic hybrid polymer. By means of the new binder concept presented here, it is possible to revolutionise the contacting of the individual components in these accumulators and thus to enable a fundamental improvement in the ion transport. Associated therewith is a new, fast, simple and flexible production method for lithium accumulators which optimises these with respect to safety, stability, environmental friendliness and efficiency.

Abstract: Compounds of the formula (I) and their salts with inorganic and organic acids, ##STR1## in which R.sub.1 is a hydrogen atom or a trimethylsilyl group, R.sub.2, R.sub.3, R.sub.4, and R.sub.5 are, independently of each other, a hydrogen atom, a (C.sub.1 -C.sub.4) alkyl group, a hydroxy-(C.sub.2 -C.sub.3) alkyl group, an alkoxy-(C.sub.2 -C.sub.3) group, an amino-(C.sub.2 -C.sub.3) group, or a 2,3-dihydroxypropyl group, and in which R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3, R.sub.4 and R.sub.5 are not simultaneously hydrogen atoms, and processes for their preparation and use as hair-coloring agents.

Abstract: Compounds of the formula (I): ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 independently of one another may represent a hydrogen atom, a (C.sub.1-4) alkyl group, a hydroxy (C.sub.2-3) alkyl group, an alkoxy (C.sub.2-3) alkyl group, an amino (C.sub.2-3) alkyl group or a 2,3-dihydroxypropyl group and R.sub.5 and R.sub.6 independently of one another may represent hydrogen or a (C.sub.1-4) alkyl group, are made by reacting 2,4-dinitrohalobenzenes with 4-hydroxymethyl-1,3-dioxolanes under alkaline conditions to form 4-(2,4-dinitrophenoxymethyl)-1,3-dioxolanes, which are further reduced to the compounds of formula (I). In an alternate process, the 4-hydroxymethyl-1,3-dioxolanes are reacted with 4-halo-3-nitranilines or 2-halo-5-nitranilines, the product further reacted first under basic conditions with chloroformic acid ester followed by treatment with strong base, alkylation or alkoxylation, reduction, and optionally further alkylation of alkoxylation to arrive at the compounds (I).
