An electrical-energy-storage unit (EESU) has as a basis material a high-permittivity composition-modified barium titanate ceramic powder. This powder is single coated with aluminum oxide and then immersed in a matrix of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) plastic for use in screen-printing systems. The ink that is used to process the powders via screen-printing is based on a nitrocellulose resin that provide a binder burnout, sintering, and hot isostatic pressing temperatures that are allowed by the PET plastic. These lower temperatures that are in the range of 40° C. to 150° C. also allows aluminum powder to be used for the electrode material. The components of the EESU are manufactured with the use of conventional ceramic and plastic fabrication techniques which include screen printing alternating multilayers of aluminum electrodes and high-permittivity composition-modified barium titanate powder, sintering to a closed-pore porous body, followed by hot-isostatic pressing to a void-free body. The 31,351 components are configured into a multilayer array with the use of a solder-bump technique as the enabling technology so as to provide a parallel configuration of components that has the capability to store at least 52.22 kW·h of electrical energy. The total weight of an EESU with this amount of electrical energy storage is 281.56 pounds including the box, connectors, and associated hardware.

The present invention is directed to both physical and chemical means for maintaining continuous high levels of chlorine dioxide in aqueous solutions for extended periods, with minimum loss through degradation in the solution and dissipation through the walls of the containing vessel within which the solution is stored. The ClO2 may be maintained even in the absence of very high levels of chlorite, from which supplemental, offsetting levels of ClO2 may be generated. The present invention relates to the discovery that certain types of plastic and glass containers have the ability to maintain relatively constant levels of ClO2 in their contained solutions over extended periods, particularly in aqueous compositions comprising chlorite/ClO2 ratios sufficient for a stabilizing complex of the two, presumably Cl204-, to suppress the ClO2 loss. Of particular value is certain high-density polyethylene terephthalate (PETE) plastic bottling and plastic containers which have been initially exposed to a fluorinating environment. Specifically, in the latter regard, it has been discovered that certain plastic containers which ordinarily are incapable of maintaining aqueous ClO2 levels can be treated with fluorine gas to transform their surfaces so as to effectively suppress ClO2 diffusion therethrough.
