  • Ion conductive polymers and imide monomers
    Patent number: 7592375
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is an ion conductive polymer comprising a unit represented by Formula (1) below: —SO2[N?SO2(M+)]X1-??(1) wherein X1 is an integer greater than 1, and M+ is H+ or Li+. Further disclosed is an imide monomer represented by Formula (A) below: Z1-SO2[N?SO2M+]Y-Z2 ??(A) wherein Y is an integer of 2 or greater, Z1 is OH, F, Cl, Br, I or NZ3Z4 (in which Z3 and Z4 are each independently H, M or SiMe3, and M is a metal element), Z2 is OH, F, Cl, Br, I or NZ3Z4 (in which Z3 and Z4 are each independently H, M or SiMe3, and M is a metal element), and M+ is H+ or Li+.

  • Electrolyte for electrochromic elements
    Patent number: 5215684
    Abstract: An electrolyte for electrochromic elements which comprises an electrolytic base material to conduct ions and charge-controlling substances contained in the electrolytic base material. The electrolytic base material is composed of a polar organic solvent and a supporting electrolyte and the charge-controlling substance is at least one of oxidizable substances and reducible substances. This electrolyte enables to produce durable electrochromic elements which can balance the charges in both electrodes and avoid a residual color or an uneven color of coloring materials.
