Abstract
Abstract A material which is particularly suitable for use in a composite cathode and which includes a complex of a salt formed between a metal ion capable of existing in at least two stable valency states or an aluminium ion together with a suitable anion and a solid plastics polymeric composition capable of forming a donor acceptor type bond with the metal or aluminium ion, wherein the material exhibits both ionic and electronic conductivities to a substantial degree.
