| abstract |
The invention relates to a paste-like mass that can be used in electrochemical structural elements, including a heterogeneous mixture of (1.) a matrix (A) containing at least one organic polymer, precursors thereof, or prepolymers thereof, and a plasticizer, and (2.) an electrochemically activatable inorganic material in the form of a solid substance (B), the material not being soluble in the matrix and in water, with the proviso that a conductor that is soluble in the plasticizer and that is different from (B) is not present in the mixture, wherein the plasticizer is present in a quantity of up to about 5% by weight, relative to the quantity of the electrochemically activatable material. Self-supporting layers or layers that are placed on a substrate can be prepared from the paste-like mass. Composite layers having electrochemical properties are obtainable by combining such a layer wherein (B) is a positive electrode material, a layer wherein (B) has solid electrolyte properties, and a layer wherein (B) is a negative electrode material and can be used in rechargeable electrochemical cells. |
