Abstract
Abstract A solid state electrochemical cell comprises an anode having at least one alkali metal as its active material, a cathode and an electrolyte comprising an anion and a cation comprising at least one electrolytically active alkali metal ion. The anion is at least partially immobilized by it constituting part of a polymer, chain, e.g. as the poly (methacryloyl-oxy-benzoate) or poly (2-(4-carboxyhexafluorobutanoyl-oxy-)ethylmethacrylate ions, thereby to overcome problems associated with mobile anions. The cation is preferably Li + and a polymer such as poly (ethylene oxide) may be blended into the electrolyte to improve its mechanical properties.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
69 words
A solid state electrochemical cell comprising an anode having at least one alkali metal as its active material, a cathode, and an electrolyte comprising a salt the anion of which salt is a polymer wherein an anionic group is covalently bonded to the polymer chain and is thereby at least partially immobilised, and the cation of which salt is an electrochemically active ion of at least one alkali metal.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
69 words
A solid state electrochemical cell comprising an anode having at least one alkali metal as its active material, a cathode, and an electrolyte comprising a salt the anion of which salt is a polymer wherein an anionic group is covalently bonded to the polymer chain and is thereby at least partially immobilised, and the cation of which salt is an electrochemically active ion of at least one alkali metal.
