Abstract:
A method for manufacturing a composite electrode for a metal-air electrochemical cell with a liquid electrolyte of basic pH. A liquid solution comprising a fluoropolymer suspended in a solvent is synthesized, then deposited on the outer surface of a porous structure forming an air electrode. The fluoropolymer comprises SO 2 N groups suitable for conducting hydroxyl ions and is capable of forming a membrane impermeable to at least the liquid electrolyte of basic pH. When the liquid solution is applied to the porous structure, the solvent flows through the porous structure and the fluoropolymer is deposited by aggregating into a layer on the outer surface of the porous structure.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for manufacturing a composite electrode configured to be used in a metal-air electrochemical cell with a liquid electrolyte of basic pH, the method comprising:\n obtaining an air electrode porous structure comprising an outer surface, the porous structure being configured to facilitate an oxygen reduction reaction into hydroxyl ions in the presence of an electric current; synthesizing a first liquid solution comprising a fluoropolymer suspended in a solvent, the fluoropolymer being capable of forming a membrane impermeable to at least the liquid electrolyte of basic pH, the fluoropolymer comprising SO 2 N groups capable of conducting hydroxyl ions; applying the first liquid solution at least once onto the outer surface of the porous structure, the solvent flowing through the porous structure and the fluoropolymer being deposited by aggregating into a layer on the outer surface of the porous structure, thereby forming said membrane impermeable to at least the liquid electrolyte of basic pH and conductive to hydroxyl ions.
