Abstract
The present invention relates to safety methods and mechanisms for treating electrolyte solutions in batteries, specifically metal-air batteries. Systems and methods of the invention protect the battery, protect the battery operator and protect the environment from potential material hazards. This invention provides materials for arresting a potentially hazardous electrolyte solution by forming solid or gel porous polymer structures. The polymer porous structures consume or confine the electrolyte solution thus preventing its hazardous potential.
