  • Membrane for selective transport of oxygen over water vapor and metal-air electrochemical cell including said membrane
    Patent number: 5985475
    Abstract: A permeable membrane comprising a gas permeable substrate film and a layer of a polymeric perfluoro compound on the substrate exhibits selective transport of oxygen over water vapor and a metal-air electrochemical cell comprising such a membrane has enhanced control over its water content. Suitable polymeric perfluoro compounds include perfluoropolyalkylene oxides such as polyperfluoropropylene oxide or polyperfluoropropylene oxide co-perfluoroformaldehyde. The polymeric perfluoro compound layer is desirably crosslinked to form a thin layer on the substrate film or to form a self-supporting membrane. A suitable substrate film is a microporous polymer membrane.

  • Metal-air electrochemical cell with oxygen reservoir
    Patent number: 5733677
    Abstract: A metal-air electrochemical cell comprising an oxygen reservoir disposed in an air plenum adjacent the air cathode. The oxygen reservoir includes an oxygen binding compound characterized in that the oxygen binding compound reversibly binds oxygen and releases oxygen into the air in the air plenum to power the cell when the partial pressure of oxygen in the air plenum drops due to a load on the cell.
