Publication number: 20120225959Abstract: An anhydrous, proton-conductive medium comprises a poly(amic acid)-based polyimide and at least one phosphorus compound from the group consisting of phosphorus oxides and phosphoric acids. The precursor solution for the polyimide is a mixture of a phosphorus oxide and a poly(amic acid). A suitable phosphorus oxide has the formula P4O10. A process for forming an anhydrous, proton-conductive membrane comprises mixing a phosphorus oxide in a poly(amic acid) solution to form a mixture, dispensing the mixture upon a support structure, and substantially drying the mixture. The mixture may then be cured.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 3, 2011Publication date: September 6, 2012Applicant: EXCELLATRON SOLID STATE LLCInventors: James R.

Patent number: 7943250Abstract: There is disclosed an electrochemical conversion system (40) for energy management which includes multi-electrochemical cells. The system 40 includes a conduit system (41), an electrical system (42), first electrochemical cell (43), a second electrochemical cell (44), a third electrochemical cell (45), a first recuperative heat exchanger (RHX) (46), and a second recuperative heat exchanger (47). The conduit system, electrical system (42), heat exchangers, and electrochemical cells are all constructed and function in the same manner as previously described. The system (40) also includes an additional, second recuperative heat exchanger (47) (RHX) to thermally isolate the third electrochemical cell from the other two. As shown, the electrochemical cells are electrically and pneumatically connected in series so that the electrical current flow and the proton flow through the electrochemical cells are balanced.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 2005Date of Patent: May 17, 2011Assignee: Johnson Research & Development Co., Inc.Inventors: Lonnie G. Johnson, James R. Muller
