(US5460905-A)      The electric current producing cell, comprises (a) an anode; (b) a composite cathode contg. poly(carbon disulphide) as a cathode active material; a p-doped conjugated polymer which enhances the cell voltage against the anode and provides transport of electrons; and an electrolyte for the transport of ions; and (c) a further electrolyte which is chemically inert w.r.t. anode and the cathode and which permits the transportation of ions between the anode and the cathode.    Pref. conjugated polymer is polyaniline, poly-acetylene, polypyrrole, polythiophene, poly(paraphenylene), poly(para-phenylene vinylene), and poly(2,5-thienylene vinylene). Pref. anode comprises a material from alkali metal(s), alkaline earth metal(s), alkali metal intercalated carbon compsns. of an n-doped conjugated polymer and an alkali metal, composites of an n-doped conjugated polymer and an alkali metal alloy, and an alkali metal with a film of an n-doped conjugated polymer interposed between the alkali metal and the electrolyte.    USE/ADVANTAGE -   Used in high performance thin film solid-state secondary Li batteries. Increased open circuit cell voltage. Lower resistance ions due to better miscibility.    (US5462566-A)      Composite cathode formation comprises cooling an electroconductive cathode substance with a mixt. comprising enough polycarbon disulphide to provide cathode activity, p-doped conjugated polymer to transport electrons and enhance voltage on anode and an electrolyte effective to transport ions.    USE/ADVANTAGE -   Used for solid state rechargeable cell. The cells have higher voltage and higher energy density with long shelf life, low rate of self-discharge and long cycle life.    (JP8031449-A)      The current generating cell comprises an anode, composite cathode contg. a poly (C disulphide), and p-doped conjugate copolymer to increase the cell voltage and give the migration of electrons and electrolyte to move ions.    USE -   For power sources of handy communicating machines or portable computers.
