  • Anion receptor compounds for non-aqueous electrolytes
    Patent number: 6120941
    Abstract: A new family of aza-ether based compounds including linear, multi-branched and aza-crown ethers is provided. When added to non-aqueous battery electrolytes, the new family of aza-ether based compounds acts as neutral receptors to complex the anion moiety of the electrolyte salt thereby increasing the conductivity and the transference number of LI.sup.+ ion in alkali metal batteries.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 20, 1998
    Date of Patent: September 19, 2000
    Assignee: Brookhaven Science Associates
    Inventors: Hung Sui Lee, Xiao-Oing Yang, James McBreen
