Abstract

Abstract The present invention relates to a depolarizer for use in a lithium halide battery which comprises a halogen and a charge transfer complex consisting of the halogen and an organic component of (a) quaternary amine halide selected from the group consisting of (i) polyvinylalkylpyridinium halide or polyvinylalkylquinolinium halide and (ii) poly [N,N'-dialkyl 1,2 bis (4-pyridinium halide)] ethylene or poly [N-alkyl 1,2 bis (4-pyridinium halide) ethylene] and (b) phenyl methane dyes wherein said halogen is present in an amount of from about 3 to 50 parts by weight for each part of organic component.

Claim 1
Independent Claim 65 words
A depolarizer for use in a lithium halide battery comprising a charge transfer complex consisting of an organic component and a halogen, the halogen being present in excess of stoichiometric, the organic component being selected from the group consisting of phenyl methane dyes and said halogen being present in an amount of from 3:1 to 50:1 parts (by weight) for each part of organic component.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 65 words
A depolarizer for use in a lithium halide battery comprising a charge transfer complex consisting of an organic component and a halogen, the halogen being present in excess of stoichiometric, the organic component being selected from the group consisting of phenyl methane dyes and said halogen being present in an amount of from 3:1 to 50:1 parts (by weight) for each part of organic component.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 81 words
A depolarizer for use in a lithium halide battery comprising a charge transfer complex of an organic component, an absorbent and a halogen, said halogen being present in an amount of from 3:1 to 50:1 parts (by weight) for each part of organic component, and said organic component being selected from the group consisting of polyquaternary amine halides consisting of: (i) polyvinylalkylpyridinium halides or polyvinylalkylquinoline halides and (ii) poly[N-alkyl 1,2 bis (4-pyridinium halide) ethylene] or poly[N,N' dialkyl 1,2 (4-pyridinium halide) ethylene].
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 81 words
A depolarizer for use in a lithium halide battery comprising a charge transfer complex of an organic component, an absorbent and a halogen, said halogen being present in an amount of from 3:1 to 50:1 parts (by weight) for each part of organic component, and said organic component being selected from the group consisting of polyquaternary amine halides consisting of: (i) polyvinylalkylpyridinium halides or polyvinylalkylquinoline halides and (ii) poly[N-alkyl 1,2 bis (4-pyridinium halide) ethylene] or poly[N,N' dialkyl 1,2 (4-pyridinium halide) ethylene].
