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: The present invention relates to a method for producing a material suitable for producing ceramic oxide coatings, comprising the following steps: (a) preparing at least one first compound of a metal cation, selected from the cations of manganese, cerium, gadolinium, and/or yttrium, having at least one organic anion or an anion comprising an organic part, (b) dissolving or suspending the compound(s) prepared according to (a) in a protic, hydrolytically active solvent, such that the compound(s) is (are) present in a completely dissolved or colloidally dispersed form, (c) heating the suspension or solution thus formed in a closed vessel to at least 80° C., and (d) expanding and cooling the suspension or solution thus formed. Using said method, amorphous macromolecules are obtained, comprising molecular or polycyclic complexes having a primary particle size of <1 nm and an agglomerate size of 5 to 120 nm, preferably 10 to 80 nm.

Abstract: A new high-temperature solid electrolyte fuel cell comprising an electrolyte layer between two electrode layers is obtainable by a process comprising the steps: (i) applying electrolyte particles in a screen printing paste on an unsintered electrolyte substrate and sintering the thus produced structure, (ii) depositing a nano-porous electrode thin layer by a sol-gel-process or an MOD-process on the structure obtained according to step (i) and thermal treatment of the thus coated structure. The fuel cell optionally has an electrolyte boundary layer on the structured screen printed electrolyte layer which is applied by an MOD process.
