Ionic compounds containing an anion, and a cation having the following structural formula (1):RRRN-(linker)-O-(linker)-(FC)&#x2003;&#x2003;(1)wherein: Rand Reither linear or branched alkyl groups or together form a N-heterocylic ring with the nitrogen atom to which they are joined; Ris linear or branched alkyl group; linkerand linkerare alkylene chains or polyether chains; and the group FC is a fluorinated alkyl group, as well as an electrolyte material comprising such an ionic compound and a metal salt, and metal-air batteries using such an electrolyte material. The invention also relates to a metal-air battery containing an electrolyte material, wherein the electrolyte material comprises at least one ionic compound and a metal salt, and wherein at least one ionic compound contains an anion CFCOOor CFSO, where in each case n is at least 1 and at most 10.

The invention provides a process of making porous structures or materials, including the colloidal processing (e.g. slip casting, pressure casting, tape casting or electrophoretic deposition) of solid particle emulsions to form a green body that can be directly sintered without a de-binding step.

Process for producing sintered porous materials

Manufacturing a semiconductor device involves forming () a sacrificial layer where a micro cavity is to be located, forming () a metal layer of thickness greater than 1 micron over the sacrificial layer, forming () a porous layer from the metal layer, the porous layer having pores of length greater than ten times their breadth, and having a breadth in the range 10 nm-500 nanometers. The pores can be created by anodising, electrodeposition or dealloying. Then the sacrificial layer can be removed () through the porous layer, to form the micro cavity, and pores can be sealed (). Encapsulating MEMS devices with a porous layer can reduce costs by avoiding using photolithography for shaping the access holes since the sacrificial layer is removed through the porous membrane.
