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: A process for depositing optical layers of metal oxides on glass, ceramics or metals, by subjecting the substrate which is to be coated to a purifying pretreatment, purifying the aqueous sol of a metal oxide or a mixture of metal oxides, applying the aqueous sol or sol mixture to the substrate which is to be coated, and heat-treating the coated substrate at temperatures of from 100 to 550° C.
