Abstract
The present invention relates to a paste-like mass that can be used in electrochemical structural elements comprising (A) 0-70% by weight of a matrix containing or consisting of at least one organic polymer, precursors thereof, or prepolymers thereof, and (B) 30-100% by weight of an electrochemically activatable inorganic material that is preferably not soluble in the matrix and that is in the form of a solid substance, and additionally, if necessary, a suspending agent for (B), characterized in that said electrochemically activatable material is at least partially a nanocrystalline powder, with the proviso that said material (B) is not a material that can be used as electrode material in the absence of (A). Said mass is suitable for producing layers that are self-supporting or that are placed on a substrate from which or with which composite layers with electrochemical properties can be produced, such as accumulators, batteries, condensators (supercaps), solar cells and electrochromic indicating elements. The invention also discloses methods for producing the masses, layers, and composite layers.
