Abstract

A battery comprising at least one battery unit, the battery unit comprising a negative electrode formed of a copper foil coated with graphene; a positive electrode formed of platinum coated with thorium dioxide; a separator, which may be polymeric; and an aqueous electrolyte providing the catalyst. Each electrode can be coated with a conductive material to allow the electrode to be soldered; and the battery can comprise several battery units, each battery unit having a negative electrode that is attached to the positive electrode of an adjacent battery unit via a conductive adhesive.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a battery, and more particularly to a Platinum Thorium battery using an aqueous electrolyte. The present invention provides a new design to tackle the ever-growing power consumption needs of users at home, in electronics, electric vehicles, or home/business electric power generation.
The Platinum Thorium battery is also more environmentally friendly and allows the user to consume more power between cycles, and more importantly more recycle cycles when compared to traditional lithium-based battery cells.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The Platinum alloy in the Platinum and Thorium battery reacts with the aqueous electrolyte and will produce a positive charge on the cathode.
The negative electrode is easy to solder to as is a graphene coated onto a copper collector foil.
The separator is made from a polymer.
