Coulometer with solid electrolyte

Abstract

Abstract In a solid coulometer comprising two opposite layers, of which one is made of active metal and the other is made of inactive metal, and a layer of solid electrolyte of high iron conductivity sandwiched between them wherein the active metal ion is migrated and deposited on the inactive metal layer on charging and then the deposited active metal ion is removed from the inactive metal layer and re-depodited on the active metal layer on discharging so that an over-voltage is produced at the completion of the redeposition, an improvement where the opposite metal layers are buried in the solid electrolyte layer, the opposite surface area of each of the opposite metal layers being smaller than the surface area of the solid electrolyte layer contacting thereto.
