  • SYSTEMS, METHODS OF MANUFACTURE AND USE INVOLVING LITHIUM AND/OR HYDROGEN FOR ENERGY-STORAGE APPLICATIONS
    Publication number: 20100221596
    Abstract: Energy storage cells, batteries and associated methods and uses are implemented in a variety of manners. Consistent with one such implementation, a lithium ion and hydrogen ion battery cell includes a first electrode configured to store energy by interacting with lithium cations. A second electrode is configured to store energy by interacting with hydrogen cations. An aqueous electrolyte separates the first electrode from the second electrode and provides both the lithium cations and the hydrogen cations.
