TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - ELECTRICAL POWER AND ENERGY - Preferred Components: The non-aqueous solvent is selected from tetrahydrofuran, 2-methylfuran, 4-methyldioxolane, ethylene carbonate, propylene carbonate, gamma-butyrolactone, methyl formate, sulfolane, acetonitrile, 3-methyl-2-oxazolidinone, dimethyl carbonate, dimethyl ether, and 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone.The electrolyte solvent is polyethylene oxide or is a gel electrolyte selected from polyacrylonitrile and poly(vinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene).Preferred Electrochemical Cell: The electrochemical cell contains a lithium salt in a liquid organic solvent selected from: LiF, LiCl, LiBr, LiI, CF3COOLi, C2F5COOLi, C6F5COOLi.The electrochemical cell comprises an electrolyte solute selected from: LiF, LiCl, LiBr, LiI, CF3COOLi, C2F5COOLi, from LiClO4, LiAsF6, LiBF4, LiPF6, and LiSbF6, or from LiF, LiCl, LiBr, LiI, CF3COOLi, C2F5COOLi.The electrochemical cell contains an anode selected from lithium, lithium alloys, lithium carbon-, lithium graphite-, and lithium metal intercalation compounds, and their mixtures.The electrochemical cell has a cathode selected from a transition metal oxide or chalcogenide, a poly(carbon disulfide) polymer, an organo-disulfide redox polymer, a polyaniline, an organo-disulfide/polyaniline composite, and an oxychloride.The transition metal oxide is selected from: Li2.5V6O13, Li1.2V2O5, LiCoO2, LiNiO2, LiMn2O4, LiMnO2.The transition metal chalcogenide is selected from Li3NbSe3, LiTiS2, and LiMoS2.The conductivity of the non-aqueous battery electrolyte is enhanced by providing a conductivity amount of fluorinated boron-based anion receptor.    TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - POLYMERS - Preferred Polymer: The organo-disulfide redox polymers are formed by reversible electrochemical dimerization of organo disulfide polymers by the reaction:R = aliphatic or aromatic entity;n = more than 50.The organo-disulfide/polyaniline composite is a mixture of polyaniline and 2,5-dimercapto-1,3,4-thiadiazole. EXAMPLE - The ionic conductivity of an electrolyte solution containing (C3F7CH2O)3B and LiCl both 0.2M was 8.4.10-5 as against a value of 5.0.10 power -6 for a solution containing only the LiCl, thus indicating the dramatic increase in ionic conductivity due to the fluorinated boron compound.
