Abstract:
The invention relates to a metal accumulation inhibiting and performance enhancing isolated or synthesized supplement for use in or in association with rechargeable electrochemical energy storage cells, and a system for delivering the supplement including articles of plastic, articles containing plastic, articles similar to plastic, plastic containers, apparatus, porous electrodes, liquids and electrolytes, in particular, articles, apparatus, electrodes, insolating sheets, liquids and electrolytes associated with rechargeable electrochemical energy storage cells incorporating one or more supplements. An effective amount of the supplement typically exhibits foaming of an electrolyte, providing a visual indicator of activity in attenuating metal deposition on, and thereby reducing metal accumulation on, various surfaces in the rechargeable electrochemical storage cell.

Claim (Index 55):
A porous insulating sheet for use between a pair of electrodes of a rechargeable electrochemical energy storage cell, and when in use placed between and providing separation between the pair of electrodes, the rechargeable electrochemical energy storage cell adapted to include multiple assemblies of alternating positive and negative electrodes interspaced by insulating sheets, the porous insulating sheet comprising:\n a polymeric insulating sheet-forming material formed into the porous insulating sheet; and an isolated supplement, a synthesized supplement and a migratory compound, individually or in combination, included with the porous insulating sheet for enhancing performance of an electrochemical cell being in particular, although not exclusively, the rechargeable electrochemical energy storage cell; the isolated supplement, the synthesized supplement, and the migratory compound each comprising compounds that have molecules including at least one hydrophobic hydrocarbon chain and a hydrophilic portion; the isolated supplement consisting essentially of one or more isolated compounds having the molecules including the at least one hydrophobic hydrocarbon chain and the hydrophilic portion, the one or more isolated compounds obtained by extraction from one or more natural materials, the one or more isolated compounds corresponding to compounds included in a non-polyisoprene portion of a solid material obtainable from a natural elastomer of  Hevea brasiliensis  trees, inclusion of the natural elastomer with the one or more isolated compounds thereby being avoided; the synthesized supplement consisting essentially of one or more synthesized compounds having the molecules including the at least one hydrophobic hydrocarbon chain and the hydrophilic portion, the one or more synthesized compounds being industrially prepared or manufactured chemical compounds, and when in use the one or more synthesized compounds providing at least one substantially same performance enhancing function as the one or more isolated compounds obtained by extraction, the one or more industrially prepared or manufactured chemical compounds when in use not interfering disadvantageously with functioning of the electrochemical cell; the migratory compound consisting of one or more ingredients, the one or more ingredients consisting essentially of one or more compounds having the molecules including the at least one hydrophobic hydrocarbon chain and the hydrophilic portion, the one or more ingredients included with a natural and a processed material, individually or in combination, wherein the one or more ingredients consist of compounds other than natural and cured polyisoprene, and when in use the one or more ingredients providing the at least one substantially same performance enhancing function as the compounds obtained by extraction and the industrially prepared or manufactured compounds; wherein the isolated supplement, the synthesized supplement and the migratory compound are selected from the group consisting of phospholipids; glycolipids; a fatty alcohol having eight or more carbons; a fatty alcohol having eight or more carbons and at least one ethylene oxide; a fatty alcohol with eight or more carbons, at least one ethylene oxide, and at least one propylene oxide; an alkoxylate compound with at least eight carbons; a compound with a molecular structure consisting essentially of at least one hydrocarbon chain and one, or more in combination, of a group of three consisting of (1) one or more ether O or C\u2014O\u2014C linkages, (2) one or more polar aspects, and (3) a head group; an alkyl amphoteric compound with charges accommodated in the same order as a phospholipid; and combinations thereof.
