Abstract
Abstract A bipolar electrode having, between active materials, a heat sink fabricated from a porous electrical and heat conductive material, such as sintered silver, and impregnating the porous material with a phase-change heat absorbent material having a high heat of fusion, such as beeswax, provides an electrode having a very large thermal capacity for a high discharge current density battery.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
96 words
The improvement in a bipolar electrode having silver oxide positive active material and zinc negative active material for a pile type AgO-Zn-KOH bipolar battery, the said electrode improvement comprising: a. a porous silver sheet; b. a grid layer of silver metal attached in sealing relationship to each surface of the said porous sheet; c. beeswax; d. means for filling the said porous sheet with the said beeswax; e. means for applying the said positive active material to one grid layer; and f. means for applying the said negative active material to the other said grid layer.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
96 words
The improvement in a bipolar electrode having silver oxide positive active material and zinc negative active material for a pile type AgO-Zn-KOH bipolar battery, the said electrode improvement comprising: a. a porous silver sheet; b. a grid layer of silver metal attached in sealing relationship to each surface of the said porous sheet; c. beeswax; d. means for filling the said porous sheet with the said beeswax; e. means for applying the said positive active material to one grid layer; and f. means for applying the said negative active material to the other said grid layer.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
36 words
The improvement in a bipolar electrode as claimed in claim 1, wherein the said porous silver sheet is sintered silver and polyethylene and the said positive and negative active materials are electrodeposited on the said grids.
