Abstract
Porous electrodes and experimental prototypes of rechargeable batterie s based on a novel electrochemical system graphite-HBF4 + tetrafluorob orate additives-anthraquinone are developed. Intercalation of anions i n the graphite electrode is studied in detail and the intercalation po tential is determined (E(i) similar to 1.55 V vs. Ag-AgCl). Side react ions proceeding concurrently with primary current-generating processes at the electrodes are described. Feasibility of hermetically sealing a battery based on the new system due to anthrahydroquinone's ability to reduce oxygen that evolves during charging is demonstrated.
