Elwood, once named ugliest dog, dies unexpectedly
SEWELL, N.J. A New Jersey canine that was crowned the world's ugliest dog in 2007 and later became the topic of a children's book preaching acceptance has died. Elwood was 8.
His owner, Karen Quigley, says the Chinese crested and Chihuahua mix died unexpectedly Thanksgiving morning. The Sewell resident said Elwood had been dealing with some heath issues in recent months but appeared to be doing well.
Elwood was dark colored and hairless – save for a puff of white fur resembling a Mohawk on his head. He was often referred to by fans as Yoda, or E.T., for his resemblance to those famous science-fiction characters.
Elwood won his crown at the annual ugly dog contest at the Sonoma-Marin County Fair a year after he had finished second.
Quigley rescued Elwood in 2005, when he was about 9 months old.
"The breeder was going to euthanize him because she thought he was too ugly to sell," Quigley has said.
Inspired by her pet, Quigley wrote "Everyone Loves Elwood," a popular children's book that promoted a message that it's OK to be different. Quigley said the book shares lessons of love, compassion and perseverance and encourages readers to be kind to animals.
"He made people smile, he made them laugh and feel good," Quigley said. "He will truly be missed."

Prank leads to long marriage
A mis-throw caused the first meeting of eventual husband and wife Frank and Joan Harder.February 25, 2013 4:55am
A mis-throw caused the first meeting of eventual husband and wife Frank and Joan Harder.
Frank was a doctor and Joan was a nurse at Prince Henry's Hospital in suburban Melbourne.
''I threw a wet towel through the door in the ward kitchen, thinking my friend was walking past,'' Joan said.
''It hit him (Frank), and boy was I frightened. I didn't know him and had never spoken to him before.
''He found a wife out of it.''
Frank, 86, and Joan, 83, married at St Andrew's Church 60 years ago today.
Their three children — Graeme, Jude and Leigh — and five grandchildren yesterday celebrated their anniversary at Mercy Place in Shepparton.
''It's the first time everyone has been together,'' Joan said.
''Having grandchildren does mean a lot. They're all so beautiful.''
The Harders left Melbourne for Shepparton when Frank and Arthur Dickmann opened a general practice on the corner of Knight St and Maude St in 1952.
Frank retired aged 76.
''I used to know everyone's medical history in Shepparton,'' he said.
Frank earned an Order of Australia medal for his extensive medical and volunteer work.
He was a Shepparton Apex member and gave lectures for St John's Ambulance paramedics.
He was also a former chairman of the Promotion of Adults Continuing Education, a now defunct foundation for which Joan helped co-ordinate courses.
The Harder Auditorium at Goulburn Ovens Institute of TAFE in Shepparton is named after Frank.
Recreationally, Frank and Joan were regular visitors to the South Australian opal mining town of Andamooka.
Frank also won best single rose at the Royal Melbourne Show after 30 years of trying.
A wet towel ensured Frank did not have to wait that long to find the perfect wife.
''She's loveable,'' he said of Joan.
Joan said tolerance was the key to lasting 60 years of marriage.

MESA, Ariz., April 2, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- The men and women of the United States military make untold sacrifices to serve our nation. Many of these heroes step courageously into harm's way to protect all that we hold dear.
One of these heroes was honored at Cubs Park in Mesa Arizona on Tuesday 3/25/14. Sergeant Sigifredo ("Ziggy") Buenrrostro (Ret.) along with his wife Evelyn and their 5 daughters were presented with a mortgage-free home sponsored by Wallick & Volk Mortgage Bankers.
Sgt. Buenrrostro joined the US Army in 2002 and served three tours of duty in Iraq. Sgt. Buenrrostro was part of security patrols that were subject to IED attack. He has been diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder from his intense combat exposure. During his many years of service, Sgt. Buenrrostro received numerous awards and commendations including the Army Commendation Medal, Army Achievement Medal, Global War on Terrorism Expeditionary Medal and Iraq Campaign Medal w/ Campaign Star. Sgt. Buenrrostro is a true American Hero.
Wallick & Volk Mortgage sponsored this mortgage-free home for the Buenrrostro family through the Boot Campaign's Heroes to Homeowners Program. This program is a power house of charity organized by the national nonprofit, Boot Campaign, their program partner Military Warriors Support Foundation, and championed by The Duncan Group and Mortgage Coach to bring together mortgage industry leaders to show support for our nation's military and honor our wounded veterans. As part of this special partnership, Chase Bank donated the home for the Buenrrostro family and Wallick & Volk donated $30,000 that will cover the costs of home renovations needed for safety and accessibility and counseling for the financial stability needed to maintain home ownership.
Wallick & Volk worked closely with the Cubs organization to create a very special day for Sgt. Buenrrostro and his family. The home presentation was made right before the Cubs vs. Angels spring training game at the new Cubs Park in Mesa. Sgt. Buenrrostro threw out the ceremonial first pitch, sending it straight over the plate. This Cubs home game was also the largest attended game in Cactus League Spring Training history with 15,276 fans...a single game attendance record.
Present for the event were Wallick & Volk executives Michael Groff, Jim Volk and David Heuermann, representatives of program partners including Robyn Payne of the Boot Campaign, and the Honorable Scott Smith, Mayor of the City of Mesa. Mayor Smith and his administration are strong supporters of veterans and provide numerous resources for Mesa veterans.
The Boot Campaign is a national 501c3 nonprofit that is dedicated to showing tangible appreciation of our active military, raising awareness of the challenges they face upon return and supporting their transition home. Through the sale of its signature military combat boots, general public donations, and corporate sponsorship, the Boot Campaign operates six distinct initiatives -- Jobs, Housing, Wellness, Education, Urgent Assistance and Family Support-- that are caring for military personnel, past and present, healing from a variety of physical and emotional combat wounds, embodying the campaign motto that, "When They Come Back, We Give Back."
Wallick & Volk is one of the oldest privately-held mortgage lenders in the Nation. Since 1932 Wallick & Volk has earned its reputation by providing exceptional mortgage education, advice and unparalleled expertise to support their clients' objectives. Based in Cheyenne WY, Wallick & Volk remains committed to the highest standards of customer service, knowledge and integrity. Wallick & Volk has been recognized as one of the Top 100 Mortgage Companies in America and offers a wide variety of loan programs including FHA, VA, Conventional, USDA, and more.

These new classification techniques mean that traffic optimization, policy enforcement, and user experience are largely unaffected by encryption. In respect wit...

...I studied physics at an honors level at Harvard, where I earned an Honors degree in Math. I am an experienced tutor who has worked with students in the entire range of subjects offered in middle and high school. I have particular experience in pre-calculus, with a significant portion of my students in recent years having been at this level.
Waban, MAView Tutor
...From a car's acceleration to the shape of a statue, it's everywhere. It still blows my mind the way calculus unites so many seemingly unrelated concepts. I love to teach calculus because I find that it usually begins as a terrifying subject, filled with scary terms, and ends with a newfound appreciation for an underlying mathematical beauty.
Medford, MAView Tutor
...After graduating, I traveled to Africa, and taught 10th grade chemistry at a boarding school in Somaliland. Through all of these experiences I have been happiest when I can work one-on-one with a student and support them in the learning process. As a tutor, I strive to see things from my student's point of view, to explain concepts clearly, and to break down complex tasks into simple steps.
Waltham, MAView Tutor
...As an educator, I am extremely passionate about sharing my love of learning with others. I encourage both individual and communal learning and fostering a nurturing, yet challenging educational environment. I've tutored all ages, from adults obtaining their GEDs, to college undergraduates, to future doctors preparing for the MCAT.

First time using the Garden Grocer for our family vacation. Easily saved $700 on breakfast, lunch and dinner over our five day trip to Orlando. Will use Garden Grocer again on our next extended vacation.
My friend recommended the Garden Grocer for our Walt Disney World trip because she uses them every time she travels there. Our order was received in full and on time. I will for sure use Garden Grocer again!
We had so many issues on this trip and Garden Grocer was the only thing that went smooth and with no issues. Thank you!

Faith Food Devotional
Giving the Word First PlaceAugust 30, 2016
"Thy testimonies also are my delight and my counselors" (Ps. 119:24).
When the crises or tests come, too many Christians say, "What are we going to do now?"
The crises of life come to us all. But if you are Word-oriented, the first thing you will think about is, "What does the Word say about it?"
I pastored nearly twelve years, and I found that churches have problems just like families do. They have discipline problems, financial problems, and so forth.
I never discussed church problems with the people, because the more you talk about problems, the bigger they seem to get. But sometimes my deacon board would talk about church problems, and sure enough, the more they talked about them, the bigger the problems seemed to get.
Then one of the deacons would look at me and say, "Oh, Brother Hagin, what in the world are we going to do?"
I'd smile and say, "We're going to act like the Bible is true!"
Making that little statement would cause those deacons to sigh with relief. "It is true, isn't it," they'd say. "Sure it is," I'd say.
It's amazing how things would straighten out when we acted like the Bible is true!
Confession: Lord, thy testimonies are my counselors. I put them first. I put God's Word first. I act like it's so.

Behind Closed Doors Lyrics by Charlie Rich
Behind Closed Doors by Charlie Rich
My baby makes me proud
Lord, don't she make me proud
she never makes a scene
By hangin' all over me in a crowd
'Cause people like to talk
Lord, don't they like to talk
But when they turn out the lights
I know she'll be leavin' with me
And when we get behind closed doors
Then she let's her hair hang down
And she makes me glad that I'm a man
Oh, no one knows what goes on behind closed doors
My baby makes me smile
Lord, don't she make me smile
she's never far away
Or too tired to say I want you
She's always a lady
Just like a lady should be
But when they turn out the lights
She's still my baby to me
'Cause when we get behind closed doors
Then she let's her hair hang down
And she makes me glad I'm a man
Oh, no one knows what goes on behind closed doors
Behind closed doors

In accordance with Dirk Notheis, Head of Germany and Austria and chairman from the board at Morgan Stanley Bank AG, "the significance about the administrative centre market will significantly increase. The financial crisis has accelerated this trend. The role of investment banks is always to introduce financial entrepreneurs to the marketplace, which pertains to both new instruments of finance along with new sets of investors."
Very important is today's diversity in the area of investors. There isn't any choice but also for investors to leave traditional rating instruments behind and handle companies with certain risks. After the afternoon, those companies usually aren't such bad companies to support and can be supposed to return nice profits.
Spending Policies of National Economies
Pursuing the bursting of the financial bubble that the world has been experiencing, the following financial risk might be the "national" bubble.
Dirk Notheis states, "Worldwide, many countries happen to be living beyond their means. The crisis that we're experiencing in Greece is really a phenomenon reaching beyond the med."
Since the head of Morgan Stanley AG, Dirk Notheis is fearful of the upward trend of new debt in numerous countries around the globe. This debt and deficit has become gradually increasing in lots of Europe during recent years, but many notably in Greece. It is important for Greece to get its budget in focus, as other problematic economies, like Portugal, Spain and Italy, have inked.
The fiscal situation in Japan, Britain, as well as the Usa has also been hit, making it more important than in the past to reduce spending and have national budgets under control.
Investors won't be so quickly to intensify towards the plate as far as baling out failing national economies, as was seen in the present case of Portugal. It is just very costly for any country to gain access to money on high capital. Government entities bond that has been created was decreased into a lesser volume of 300 million Euros instead of the quantity of 500 million Euros. It's possible to point out that you will see international scenarios of failing economies that can receive no money from today's market. Regardless of whether those countries do receive funds, it's a costly solution that often times exacerbates the situation.
Dirk Notheis warns, "The air is very thin for most, practically zero, and also the scope for active policy making is shrinking as a result of expenditure in history." However, the consolidation of national budgets will breathe life into the world economy.
Returning Trust to the World Financial Markets
Earth's economy will gain new life through fiscal consolidation. To avoid an enormous crisis in confidence, which may snowball into consequences which are totally unpredictable, it is mandatory that individuals get our budgets in order in due time. It might be cognizant of pinpoint the vital issue of fiscal consolidation in the next G20 summit. As far as the Euro goes, it's sufficiently strong enough enough to outlive this current crisis.
Open Markets
The German market is spacious now, especially towards the large numbers of family based businesses and also to investors, both local and global, seeking optimum returns. This is a welcome change and, along with that, the market seems to have reached a mental level its keep is really a new and refreshing willingness to start to the capital market in the external and transparent way.
Morgan Stanley AG has responded to the requirements of the many medium-size businesses in Germany by setting up a special team specifically targeted at the needs of that clientele. Although this is just one step towards supporting that sector, we have been keeping the ball moving for investors and businesses.
The Role of Regional Banks
To be able to produce a steady flow of income and supply an even more profitable work place, ultimately causing bigger and online business offerings, it is vital that companies conserve a position of being cash positive.
More than 20 % of the loans come from regional banks, which were experiencing a very difficult period. While they are concerned primarily for themselves, their market share will shrink. In a nutshell, each bank must discover its very own way. Naturally, this may restrict the general availability of credit, forcing companies to get alternative avenues of funding. This is where the main city market will fit in well.
The Financial Market Stabilization Fund, which is due to expire in January, will be as important now as always before and the amount of the fund ought to be amended and extended. The ability for organized and systematic lowering of securities deemed toxic and businesses that get into the non-strategic category must not basically be aimed towards regional and also banks.
New Investment Opportunities
Germany continues to be very mixed up in mergers and acquisitions market as well as in equity transactions before year. This put us capable of being able to weather the changes and accommodate the new environment quite well. It appears that from the coming year Germany should see around twelve initial public offerings, and secure a volume from the 200 million Euro add some highest quality segment in the commercial market, the top Standard.
Private equity investors and strategists will discover opportunities continue as holding companies start selling off portions of their portfolio companies. These are generally firms that did well during the 2005 to 2007 heyday, but now have to recoup their capital.
Commodities Market
China is constantly exert a powerful demand for raw materials, and also this only continues the trends we found in previous commodity prices. Raw materials will sought after, but that doesn't necessarily translate being a financial disaster commodity.
Financial Market Bubble
Simply speaking, there are several countries that are tittering on the point of financial collapse. With all the situation where interest and principal have on outstanding proportions, it really is more valuable than in the past that individuals push forward the importance of fiscal consolidation. This is correct for every single country on the face of the earth, Germany included. In the interest of a wholesome world economy, initiating a process of financial discipline should be of significant concern to everyone.

I wonder why, whenever an official gives out a wrong number, it never goes to anything boring like retail store or tech support. Does the phone sex industry really own that large a majority of toll free numbers?
Call 5 at random. Then call 5 more. Call 5 more after that if you need more data.
I read somewhere, some time ago, that it's squatters who bought up all of the available numbers and that you can't get one for yourself unless you buy one from them. I guess parking them with a phone sex recording is the easiest way to make something off them in the meanwhile…
And sometimes it's the alphanumeric keypad that screws you over. Don't know if they still use it, but once upon a time there was a customer service number for GMC trucks that caused a spot of bother if you left off the C. Because as it turns out, on a phone dial, GM TRUCK also spells HOT SUCK.
Years ago in the 415 area code GOD DAMN would get the Dial-A-Prayer recording.
Yes. A variety of automated systems exist that are designed to reregister toll free numbers within minutes of their expiration.
There was a BoingBoing post last year reporting on how one company has bought up 1.7 million 1-800 numbers in the US and Canada and uses them for phone sex lines.
I guess it's never a good idea to elect an idiot.
but those are our only choices
When we stop electing politicians based on looks the idiots will go away. Abraham Lincoln could never get elected in today's election races.
At one time people cared less about what a politician did privately and more about their public policies. Would FDR get elected 4 times today? Americans cared less about FDR's polio than the promise to deliver victory over Japan and Germany. Sure, it took Truman to deliver the promise, but Franklin recognized Truman's greatness and the possibility that he might not fulfill his promise.
We need to recognize that the best leaders are not the puritanical, but the ones who are able to demonstrate that policy is more important than libido. Clinton may not have worked that right, but he might also be the last President able to lie about his relations with an intern and get away with it.
I'm still waiting for any information that Coolidge was a sexual deviant, but so far nothing.
"When we stop electing politicians based on looks the idiots will go away."
You've obviously never seen the Florida governor in question — an unholy cross between Lex Luthor and Voldemort.
…and that's BEFORE you look at his policies.

This invention relates in general to polymer electrolytes, and more particularly to polymer electrolytes comprising a polymeric matrix or support structure and an electrolyte active species dispersed therein, and to an electrochemical cell containing the electrolyte.
Energy generation and storage has long been a subject of study and development. Of special importance is the storage of electrical energy in a compact form that can be readily charged and discharged such as rechargeable electrochemical batteries and/or electrochemical capacitors. High power, high current pulse rechargeable electrochemical charge storage devices are also becoming increasingly important in applications in which electrical pulses are demanded of the battery cells. Examples of such devices include digital communication devices, power tools, and portable computers to name but a few. In each of these devices, high electrochemical kinetic rate, long cycle life of the electrode material and good ionic conductivity of the electrolyte are all extremely important considerations.
Most electrochemical cells have heretofore relied upon aqueous or liquid electrolytes to provide ionic conductivity between the electrodes thereof. Unfortunately, aqueous liquid electrolytes have problems associated with sealing, packaging, and electrolyte leakage, all of which are well known in the industry. Solid polymer electrolytes were developed by numerous different companies in an effort to address the problems associated with liquid aqueous electrolytes. Each of these different types of solid polymer electrolyte systems has met with varying degrees of success, typically owing to the fact that ionic conductivity is generally not as good as that found in a liquid aqueous system. Solid polymer electrolytes alleviate the problems experienced with respect to packaging and electrolyte leakage. In addition, polymer electrolytes have the advantage of being able to be formed into thin films to improve the energy density, and to act as an electrode spacer in order to eliminate an inert separator used in the prior art.
One polymer electrolyte system which has received considerable interest particularly in electrochemical capacitor applications is polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) having dispersed therein a proton conducting electrolyte active species such as H2 SO4 or H3 PO4. This system is described in, for example, U.S. patent application Ser. No. 08/547,821 to Lian, et al., filed Oct. 25, 1995. An improved electrolyte containing polybenzimidazole (PBI) in place of the PVA has also been disclosed in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 08/693,780 to Li, et al., filed Jul. 22, 1996. Capacitors and batteries sometimes need to be used in high temperature environments, such as in automotive engine compartments, or in surface mounting on printed circuit boards requiring temperature tolerances of up to 250� C. Unfortunately, the PVA/H3 PO4 electrolytes developed heretofore must operate at temperatures less than 65� C. because the PVA polymer degrades above this temperature. The PBI/H3 PO4 cells exhibit improved temperature response, but suffer from low adhesion between the electrolyte and the electrode. This needs to be improved in order to create a cell with optimum properties.
Accordingly, there exists a need to provide novel electrochemical devices incorporating electrolyte materials free from the limitations inherent in the prior art. Such electrolyte materials should be characterized by exhibiting high adhesion to the electrode and being capable of withstanding elevated temperatures. Further, such a material should be easily manufactured and economical for use in consumer electrochemical devices. Finally, fabrication of such an electrolyte layer should be relatively simple, inexpensive and readily repeatable.
FIG. 1 is a schematic representation of an electrochemical charge storage device in accordance with the instant invention;
FIG. 2 is a schematic representation of a second electrochemical charge storage device in accordance with the instant invention;
FIG. 3. is a chart illustrating the conductivity versus the ratio of electrolyte active species to polymer precursor material for an electrolyte system in accordance with the instant invention.
While the specification concludes with claims defining the features of the invention that are regarded as novel, it is believed that the invention will be better understood from a consideration of the following description in conjunction with the drawing figures, in which like reference numerals are carried forward.
Referring now to FIG. 1, there is illustrated therein an energy storage device such as an electrochemical charge storage device fabricated from a pair of electrode assemblies 10 and 11, which may be the anode and the cathode of the device. The electrochemical charge storage device may be an electrochemical capacitor or an electrochemical battery cell. The electrochemical capacitor is preferably an electrochemical capacitor characterized by an oxidation/reduction charge storage mechanism. Each electrode assembly 10 and 11 includes an electrode 13 which electrodes may either be fabricated from the same or different materials. In the instance in which the electrodes are fabricated of the same material, they are referred to as "symmetric electrodes". Conversely, if they are made from different materials, they are referred to as "asymmetric electrodes". Regardless of whether or not the electrodes are asymmetric or symmetric, they may be each made from one or more materials selected from the group consisting of ruthenium, iridium, platinum, cobalt, tungsten, vanadium, iron, nickel, molybdenum, silver, zinc, lead, manganese, alloys thereof, nitrides thereof, carbides thereof, sulfides thereof, oxides thereof, borites thereof, phosphites thereof, and combinations thereof. Alternatively, said electrodes may be fabricated of conducting polymers or activated carbon.
Each electrode assembly may further include a current collector 12 which is electrically conducting. The current collector 12 is preferably chemically inert in the polymer electrolyte 15 described hereinbelow. The electrolyte 15 is sandwiched between the electrodes and is in the form of a film, such as a polymer, which may also serve as a separator between the two electrodes. This structure thus affords free and unobstructed movement to the ions in the electrolyte. The combination electrolyte/separator prevents contact between the opposing electrodes since such a condition would result in a short circuit and malfunction of the electrochemical cell.
Referring now to FIG. 2, there is illustrated therein a second electrochemical device, such as an electrochemical capacitor, which may be adapted to employ an electrolyte material such as that disclosed hereinbelow. The device of FIG. 2 is a bipolar electrochemical capacitor device which includes a first layer 30 which is a bipolar metal substrate or foil. The bipolar metal foil is fabricated to be both the substrate upon which active electrode materials are deposited, as well as a current collector for the charge generated by the materials. Accordingly, layer 30 may be fabricated of a number of different materials selected from the group consisting of carbon, aluminum, titanium, copper, nickel, brass, stainless steel, gold, silver, titanium/tantalum alloys, alloys thereof, and combinations thereof. Layer 30 includes first and second major surfaces 32 and 34 upon which are deposited layers of electrode active material 36 and 38. The electrode active materials may be fabricated of symmetric or asymmetric materials such as those described hereinabove with respect to FIG. 1.
Disposed upon at least one of said electrodes is a layer of an electrolyte material 40 in accordance with the instant invention. The electrolyte material 40 as illustrated in FIG. 2 is disposed upon electrode layer 36. As may be appreciated from FIG. 2, a completed single cell bipolar device 42 comprises a bipolar metal foil, with electrodes disposed on either side of said foil and a layer of electrolyte material disposed on at least one of said electrodes. Incorporated into a multicell device, a plurality of such single cells may be arranged in stacked configuration. Accordingly, seven such devices 44, 46, 48, 50, 52, 54, and 55 may be arranged in stacked configuration in order to increase the voltage output therefrom. The knowledgeable reader will appreciate that the number of cells arranged in stacked configuration may be varied, depending on the performance that one desires to extract from the multicell device. Disposed adjacent the outer most cells 44 and 55 are end plates 56 and 58 adapted to collect current generated by the stacked cells. It is to be understood that while the devices illustrated with respect to FIGS. 1 and 2 are electrochemical capacitors, the invention is not so limited. Indeed, the electrolyte material described hereinbelow, may be readily adapted for use in capacitors, electrochemical battery cells, fuel cells, electrochemical sensors, and any other type of electrochemical cell requiring an electrolyte material for providing ionic conductivity.
The electrolyte materials described herein may be fabricated by providing a powdered polymeric precursor material characterized by either a melting temperature or heat deflection temperature in excess of at least 100� C. The powdered polymeric precursor material is preferably a powdered linear polymeric precursor material. Examples of such material include, but are not limited to, poly(benzimidazole) (PBI), poly(ethyleneoxide) (PEO), poly(acrylamide) (PAAM), poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP), poly(vinylpyridine) (P2 VP), poly(ethyleneimine) (PEI), poly(acrylic acid) (PAA), poly(aminosilicates) (PAS) and combinations thereof. In a preferred embodiment, the powdered polymeric precursor material is PBI.
The powdered polymeric precursor material is then mixed with an acidic electrolyte or other ion conducting species which likewise has a boiling point or decomposition temperature greater than 100� C. The acidic electrolyte is provided to protonate the polymeric precursor material thus imparting the characteristic of high ionic conductivity. The ion conducting species is preferably a proton conducting species, and is preferably an acid selected from the group consisting of H3 PO4, H2 SO4, HCl, HClO4, HNO3, and combinations thereof. Alternatively, other ion conducting species, such as organic acids, may also be used.
The electrolyte active species and the powdered polymeric precursor material are mixed together and heated to temperatures in excess of at least 100� C. The heating provides several useful functions including, expanding substantially the free volume of the polymeric precursor material thus allowing more of the electrolyte active species to react with sites in the polymeric precursor material. Moreover, heating to temperatures in excess of 100� serves the additional beneficial function of vaporizing liquid water which may be present in the system. Accordingly, by driving off moisture, the electrolyte material resulting from the process described herein may be employed in high temperature environments without experiencing the shortcomings and limitations characteristic of the prior art.
The ion conducting species and the powdered polymeric precursor material may be mixed in varying ratios of one to the other. In one embodiment, the ratio of the electrolyte active species to the powdered polymeric material is in the range of between 2:1 and 50:1 and preferably between 20:1 and 30:1. The powdered polymeric material is PBI, and is mixed with H3 PO4, as the ion conducting species. A summary of the effect of varying the weight ratio of the ion conducting species to powdered polymeric material may be appreciated from a perusal of FIG. 3. As may be appreciated, conductivity climbs until approximately 0.12 Siemens per centimeter (S/cm) at a ratio of 22:1 acid to polymer. However, as noted previously, although this electrolyte material has improved thermal and electrical properties over the prior art, when employed in an electrochemical cell, the adhesive bond formed between the electrolyte and the electrode sometimes fails. We have found that the addition of a small amount of fumed silica to the high temperature polymer/phosphoric acid gel electrolytes previously disclosed significantly improves the adhesion of the electrolyte to the electrode. This improved adhesion allows the fabrication of an electrochemical cell that is much more mechanically robust. Levels as low as 0.2% by weight of fumed silica in the electrolyte show improvement. Addition of fumed silica above about 8% by weight causes the conductivity of the resulting electrolyte to decrease. In practice, we find that 0.5 to about 5% fumed silica by weight is the preferred range.
To prepare the electrolyte, the silica is added after mixing the PBI with the H3 PO4, and the mixture is heated to approximately 120�-270� C. (190�-195� C. preferred) for 30 minutes to evaporate moisture and to insure adequate interaction between the H3 PO4 and the PBI. During this time, the resulting mixture tends to change color from a rusty red to a dark brown. Upon cooling to room temperature, the solution converts to a high viscosity gel-type material. This electrolyte material has conductivities approaching those of the acidic electrolyte in liquid form alone, allows the material to be used in high temperature environments and stays tightly bonded to the electrode materials. The addition of fumed silica to the electrolyte did not significantly alter the electrolyte's conductivity. Additionally, since the price of fumed silica is significantly lower than the price of the polymer, our invention lowers the price of the electrolyte by substituting a low price material for a high price material. Thus, an electrolyte with improved properties has been achieved while lowering the price.
These materials are extremely viscous, uniform, one-phase gels, and the ultimate viscosity of the electrolyte material depends on the amount of the acid electrolyte active species incorporated therein. The lower the concentration of the electrolyte active species, the higher the viscosity of the final product. The viscosity of the material is also an advantage from the standpoint of device fabrication in that the electrode material may be applied on electrode surfaces by painting, screen printing, doctor-blading, stencil printing, rollercoating, transfer pad printing, rotogravure, flexographics, lithographics, and any number of other techniques well known in the art.
The invention may be better understood from a perusal of the following examples.
Preparation of the electrolyte
The electrolyte material was fabricated by placing 4 g of powdered PBI in a container and mixed with 96 g of 85% H3 PO4. The mixture had a ratio of 24:1, acid to polymer. Fumed silica was then added to the acid/polymer mixture in ratios varying between 0.6% by weight to 3.2% by weight. The mixture was then heated to drive off the moisture.
Preparation of electrochemical cells
Electrodes used in the following examples were made from ruthenium dioxide deposited on 1 cm2 titanium substrates. A layer of the chosen electrolyte material was coated on the electrodes, and an electrochemical cell was formed by sandwiching two electrodes together so that the electrolyte separated them. The resistivity and capacitance of each cell was measured, and the cells were then heated in an oven at 120� C. for one hour, cooled to ambient temperature, and then measured again. The results are shown in Table 1.
TABLE 1______________________________________ Before Heat Treatment After Heat TreatmentConcentration Resistivity Capacitance Resistivity Capacitanceof Fume Silica (Ohm-cm) (mF/cm2) (Ohm-cm) (mF/cm2)______________________________________0.6% 15.63 45 7.69 570.9% 13.33 46 7.14 581.9% 16.95 43 8.33 563.2% 11.77 46 6.25 57______________________________________
It is observed from Table 1 that the resistivity of the electrolyte remains essentially constant when the concentration of the fumed silica is varied over the range of interest. At higher concentrations of fumed silica, the viscosity of the resulting becomes too high to be easily processed. After the cells were heated, the resistivity decreased and the capacitance increased, thus indicating a performance improvement. We believe that the electrolyte viscosity reduces at elevated temperatures, thus allowing the gel electrolyte to further penetrate into the pores and other surface irregularities of the electrodes, thus increasing the contact between the electrode and the electrolyte.
While the preferred embodiments of the invention have been illustrated and described, it will be clear that the invention is not so limited. Numerous modifications, changes, variations, substitutions and equivalents will occur to those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined by the appended claims.
