The minimum thickness of the electrodes (2a, 2b) is three times the thickness of the perforated metal strip (3a, 3b).
Description
Description Title of Invention: Lithium accumulator Technical Field 1111 The invention relates to a lithium accumulator with a housing comprising at least one cell with two electrodes provided with current collectors and separated by a separator.
Background Art
Background Art
[2] Lithium cells have been subject to intensive development efforts during the last two decades, and enabled existence of many portable devices. The increased demand for higher capacity and safety of lithium accumulators is now a limiting factor in de-velopment of many applications including the replacement of lead-acid accumulators for lithium accumulators with higher voltage in automobiles, or large accumulators for electromobiles.
[3] Main part of currently produced rechargeable lithium accumulators are based on thin film electrodes where a mixture of active materials, conductive carbon and organic binders is sprayed or laminated in a thin layer onto a foil of conductive material, usually aluminum or copper, functioning as current collector. The thickness of such planar electrodes usually ranges from several microns to one hundred microns.
The positive and negative electrodes are stacked up and separated from each other by a thin intemediate layer consisting of an electrically non-conducting material, typically a perforated foil of an organic polymer - separator. The stacked electrodes separated by separators are subsequently pressed down, closed into a case and the free space is filled up by electrolyte. A non-aqueous solution of lithium salts is frequently used for electrolyte.
141 The object of EP1777761A2 offers a solution, which is to increase the safety of thin film planar accumulator at higher temperatures by means of two separator layers, whereby one layer is constituted of electrolyte salt, binder and an organic powder (1-40 m m) and the second layer comprises a ceramic powder (5-30 m m). The thickness of electrodes is only several microns and the solution thereof does not enable further reduction of the amount of separators, thus increasing both the volume and the capacity of accumulator cells.
151 US2008038638A1 a JP2000090922 disclose the formation of a composite matrix having a defined porosity and capable to intercalate lithium, whereby such matrix is composed of particles able to form lithium alloys and an inactive material (covalent inorganic compounds).
[6] PCT application W02010031363 presents a lithium accumulator consisting either of a shell in which the mutually isolated electrodes are pressed into, or of a stack of metal frames arranged above each other, where each frame comprises an orifice, in which a thick-walled, so called three dimensional (3D) electrode is placed. The electrodes of opposite polarity are separated by separators and the frames of opposite polarity are insulated from each other. The electrodes have spatially distributed electron conductive component with a homogenously mixed active material capable to absorb and release lithium in the presence of electrolyte. The lithium accumulator is prepared by successive compressing a first electrode layer, separator and the second electrode, whereupon the housing is filled up by electrolyte, closed and the poles of the identical electrodes are interconnected. The accumulators of higher capacity comprise additional current collectors between the sandwich electrodes. The described electrode com-position, arrangement and preparation thereof are well suitable for 3D
electrodes, which enable the accumulator to achieve high volumetric capacity.
Nevertheless, this advantage is accompanied by a longer charging period and also by increased volume and weight of the accumulator and decreased active area on account of frames.
Disclosure of Invention Technical Problem 1171 The primary object of the invention is to provide a lithium accumulator incorporating the advantages of the aforesaid pressed down 3D electrodes comprising an electron conductive component and active material with the advantages of electrodes with reduced charging and discharging periods, while preserving high capacity of the ac-cumulator cell. Another object of the invention is to provide a structure of the electrodes which could enable an effective production thereof by press-compacting or rolling.
Solution to Problem Technical Solution 181 The object of this invention can be achieved and the described deficiencies overcome by a lithium accumulator with a housing comprising at least one cell with two electrodes provided with current collectors and separated by a separator, whereby each electrode, free of organic binders is pressed down on both sides of the current collector made of a perforated metal strip in the form of metal network, expanded metal or perforated metallic foil. Unlike with the known techniques, the individual electrodes or cells are not applied on the foils with binders. The electrodes are pressed directly, and free of organic binders, into the apertures of the perforated metal strip of the current collector without using a system of frames.
1191 Hereinafter, other advantageous embodiments of the accumulator according to the invention are described that further develop or specify in more details its essential features, but without limiting the scope of the invention.
11101 The cells are tightened up between two marginal covers mutually connected by bolts.
[11] The minimum thickness of the electrodes is three times the thickness of the perforated metal strip. Advantageously, the perforated metal strip is 30 - 500 um thick and is provided with a projection contact on one of its edges.
[12] At least one electrode is formed of a spatially distributed electron conductive component mixed and compressed with an active material, free of organic binders, and having a morphology of hollow spheres with a wall thickness of maximum 10 mi-crometers, or morphology of aggregates or agglomerates of maximum 30 micrometers in size and porosity from 25 to 95 %. Advantageously, the electron conductive component is present in the form of conductive compressable carbon. Such carbon modification may be compressed to form solid tablets and also a compact layer on both sides of the current collector - expanded metal and is capable to keep the desired electrode shape when the cells are assembled.
[13] The active material is elected from the group of compounds capable to rapidly in-tercalate lithium, advantageously of a group consisting of mixed oxides or phosphates of lithium, manganese, chrome, vanadium, titanium, cobalt, aluminum, nickel, iron, lanthanum, niobium, boron, cerium, tantalum, tin, magnesium, yttrium and zirconium.

The positive and negative electrodes are stacked up and separated from each other by a thin intemediate layer consisting of an electrically non-conducting material, typically a perforated foil of an organic polymer - separator. The stacked electrodes separated by separators are subsequently pressed down, closed into a case and the free space is filled up by electrolyte. A non-aqueous solution of lithium salts is frequently used for electrolyte.

[6] PCT application W02010031363 presents a lithium accumulator consisting either of a shell in which the mutually isolated electrodes are pressed into, or of a stack of metal frames arranged above each other, where each frame comprises an orifice, in which a thick-walled, so called three dimensional (3D) electrode is placed. The electrodes of opposite polarity are separated by separators and the frames of opposite polarity are insulated from each other. The electrodes have spatially distributed electron conductive component with a homogenously mixed active material capable to absorb and release lithium in the presence of electrolyte. The lithium accumulator is prepared by successive compressing a first electrode layer, separator and the second electrode, whereupon the housing is filled up by electrolyte, closed and the poles of the identical electrodes are interconnected. The accumulators of higher capacity comprise additional current collectors between the sandwich electrodes. The described electrode com-position, arrangement and preparation thereof are well suitable for 3D
electrodes, which enable the accumulator to achieve high volumetric capacity.
Nevertheless, this advantage is accompanied by a longer charging period and also by increased volume and weight of the accumulator and decreased active area on account of frames.
Disclosure of Invention Technical Problem 1171 The primary object of the invention is to provide a lithium accumulator incorporating the advantages of the aforesaid pressed down 3D electrodes comprising an electron conductive component and active material with the advantages of electrodes with reduced charging and discharging periods, while preserving high capacity of the ac-cumulator cell. Another object of the invention is to provide a structure of the electrodes which could enable an effective production thereof by press-compacting or rolling.
Solution to Problem Technical Solution 181 The object of this invention can be achieved and the described deficiencies overcome by a lithium accumulator with a housing comprising at least one cell with two electrodes provided with current collectors and separated by a separator, whereby each electrode, free of organic binders is pressed down on both sides of the current collector made of a perforated metal strip in the form of metal network, expanded metal or perforated metallic foil. Unlike with the known techniques, the individual electrodes or cells are not applied on the foils with binders. The electrodes are pressed directly, and free of organic binders, into the apertures of the perforated metal strip of the current collector without using a system of frames.
1191 Hereinafter, other advantageous embodiments of the accumulator according to the invention are described that further develop or specify in more details its essential features, but without limiting the scope of the invention.
11101 The cells are tightened up between two marginal covers mutually connected by bolts.
[11] The minimum thickness of the electrodes is three times the thickness of the perforated metal strip. Advantageously, the perforated metal strip is 30 - 500 um thick and is provided with a projection contact on one of its edges.
[12] At least one electrode is formed of a spatially distributed electron conductive component mixed and compressed with an active material, free of organic binders, and having a morphology of hollow spheres with a wall thickness of maximum 10 mi-crometers, or morphology of aggregates or agglomerates of maximum 30 micrometers in size and porosity from 25 to 95 %. Advantageously, the electron conductive component is present in the form of conductive compressable carbon. Such carbon modification may be compressed to form solid tablets and also a compact layer on both sides of the current collector - expanded metal and is capable to keep the desired electrode shape when the cells are assembled.
[13] The active material is elected from the group of compounds capable to rapidly in-tercalate lithium, advantageously of a group consisting of mixed oxides or phosphates of lithium, manganese, chrome, vanadium, titanium, cobalt, aluminum, nickel, iron, lanthanum, niobium, boron, cerium, tantalum, tin, magnesium, yttrium and zirconium.
Such materials are preferably present in nano-size particles that may reduce the time for lithium intercalation process to few seconds.
[14] The second, negative electrode may be composed of graphite and electron conductive carbon and pressed down to form the electrode layer.
11151 Alternatively, the second electrode may be composed of lithium titan oxide or another material with the electric potential against lithium lower than the first electrode and electron conductive carbon. Accordingly, graphite may be replaced by another active compound with the electric potential against lithium lower than the cathode, typically under 2 V. A pure active material is used, when it is electricaly conductive.

4 the process of accumulator charging and discharging. The absence of organic binders together with the inner electrode morphology provides for high mobility of lithium ions inside the electrode. The described structure of electrodes and composition of its materials enables to achieve reduced charging and discharging periods and high volume capacity of accumulators even when conventional types of separators are used.
[18] Another advantage of the accumulator according to the invention resides in the pos-sibility to produce electrodes by press-compacting or rolling. This technology sub-stitutes a rather complicated process of laminating electrodes on the current collector or even a simple pressing down the electrode material into the metallic frames. The fixing of individual accumulator cells between the multi-functional marginal covers provides the accumulator mechanical and vibration resistance, effective heat exchange through the covers, optimal current collection from individual electrodes and formation of one pole of the accumulator.
