(EN) ENERGY CONVERTER CELL FOR THE DIRECT CONVERSION OF RADIATION ENERGY AND/OR THERMAL ENERGY INTO ELECTRICAL ENERGY

(DE) ENERGIEKONVERTERZELLE ZUR DIREKTEN UMWANDLUNG VON STRAHLUNGS- UND/ODER WÄRMEENERGIE IN ELEKTRISCHE ENERGIE

Abstract:

(EN) The invention relates to an energy converter cell, consisting of a negative metal electrode, preferably a tin electrode, a positive electrode consisting of graphite and an electrolyte that is positioned between the electrodes and is in contact with the latter, the electrolyte containing in the charged state a manganate(IV) salt that is dissolved in water and an alkali hydroxide. The energy converter cell forms a galvanic element, which can be discharged by delivering electrical energy to an ohmic consumer resistor that is connected to the electrodes and can be charged by a supply of thermal energy. In addition, supplied electrical energy can be electrochemically stored in the cell.

(DE) Die Erfindung betrifft eine Energiekonverterzelle, bestehend aus einer negativen Elektrode aus Metall, vorzugsweise aus Zinn, einer positiven Elektrode aus Graphit und einem zwischen den Elektroden angeordneten und mit diesen in Kontakt stehenden Elektrolyten, der im geladenen Zustand in Wasser gelöstes Manganat(IV)-Salz und Alkalimetall-Hydroxid umfasst. Die Energiekonverterzelle bildet ein galvanisches Element, das unter Abgabe elektrischer Energie an einen an die Elektroden angeschlossenen ohmschen Verbraucherwiderstand entladbar und durch Zuführung thermischer Energie aufladbar ist. Außerdem kann zugeführte elektrische Energie in der Zelle elektrochemisch gespeichert werden.
