Abstract

A polymer bonded sheet product suitable for use as an electrode in a non-aqueous battery system. A porous electrode sheet is impregnated with a solid polymer electrolyte, so as to diffuse into the pores of the electrode. The composite is allowed to cool, and the electrolyte is entrapped in the porous electrode. The sheet products composed have the solid polymer electrolyte composition diffused into the active electrode material by melt-application of the solid polymer electrolyte composition into the porous electrode material sheet. The solid polymer electrolyte is maintained at a temperature that allows for rapid diffusion into the pores of the electrode. The composite electrolyte-electrode sheets are formed on current collectors and can be coated with solid polymer electrolyte prior to battery assembly. The interface between the solid polymer electrolyte composite electrodes and the solid polymer electrolyte coating has low resistance.

Continuous process to produce lithium-polymer batteries

Patent Chern, T; Keller, D; MacFadden, K

Solid polymer electrolytes are extruded with active electrode material in a continuous, one-step process to form composite electrolyte-electrodes ready for assembly into battery cells. The composite electrolyte electrode sheets are extruded onto current collectors to form electrodes. The composite electrodes, as extruded, are electronically and ionically conductive. The composite electrodes can be over coated with a solid polymer electrolyte, which acts as a separator upon battery assembly. The interface between the solid polymer electrolyte composite electrodes and the solid polymer electrolyte separator has low resistance. 1 fig.

Novel Composite Membrane Electrolyte Based Batteries for Electrical Vehicles

Technical Report Shanthi, Pavithra

In this project, Giner Inc. (Giner) collaborated with Dr. Liangbing Hu at University of Maryland (UMD), to design and fabricate a unique thin-film solid electrolyte that is highly conductive, mechanically resilient, and electrochemically stable. The proposed project approach is illustrated in Figure 1. We started with three categories of novel solid electrolytes: one is a Li-rich anti-perovskite electrolyte (APE); the second is alkali ion plastic crystal electrolyte (PCE); the third is lithium lanthanum zirconium oxide (Li 7 La 3 Zr 2 O 12, LLZO,). All systems have demonstrated extremely high conductivity (> 1mS/cm) at room temperature, in addition to significantlymore »« less
Innovative manufacturing and materials for low cost lithium ion batteries

Technical Report Carlson, Steven

This project demonstrated entirely new manufacturing process options for lithium ion batteries with major potential for improved cost and performance. These new manufacturing approaches are based on the use of the new electrode-coated separators instead of the conventional electrode-coated metal current collector foils. The key enabler to making these electrode-coated separators is a new and unique all-ceramic separator with no conventional porous plastic separator present. A simple, low cost, and high speed manufacturing process of a single coating of a ceramic pigment and polymer binder onto a re-usable release film, followed by a subsequent delamination of the all-ceramic separator andmore »« less
