Patent ID: 6855441

Claim:
A functionally improved battery comprising: (a) a flexible thin layer open liquid state electrochemical cell including a first layer of insoluble negative pole, a second layer of insoluble positive pole and a third layer of aqueous electrolyte, said third layer being disposed between said first and second layers and including: (i) a deliquescent material for keeping the open cell wet at all times; (ii) an electroactive soluble material for obtaining required ionic conductivity; and (iii) a water-soluble polymer for obtaining a required viscosity for adhering said first and second layers to said third layer; and (b) an electronic chip device being integrally formed on or within said flexible thin layer open liquid state electrochemical cell, said electronic chip device serving to improve a functionality of the battery wherein said electronic chip device serves to convert an output of the battery from DC to AC.
