  • Patent number: 11489200
    Abstract: A main object of the present disclosure is to provide a liquid electrolyte in which concentration of active fluoride ion is high. The present disclosure achieves the object by providing a liquid electrolyte to be used in a fluoride ion battery, the liquid electrolyte comprising: a potassium fluoride; an alkali metal amide salt including a cation of an alkali metal and an amide anion; and a glyme represented by a general formula R1—O(CH2CH2O)n—R2, in which R1 and R2 is each independently an alkyl group including 4 or less carbon atoms or a fluoroalkyl group including 4 or less carbon atoms, and n is within a range of 2 to 10.
    Type: Grant
