Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the construction of batteries and, more particularly, to laminate battery constructions in which a current collector has electrode material on two sides.
  • the basic structure and operation of a conventional battery such as a lead-acid battery may be understood with reference to Figure 1.
  • the main elements of the battery are the anode, the cathode and the electrolyte.
  • the anode on discharge, supplies a flow of electrons, constituting an electric current, to an external device.
  • the current powers the external device and returns to the cathode.
  • the anode and the cathode are separated by the electrolyte.
  • the electrolyte acts as an electrical insulator preventing electrons from moving between the anode and the cathode inside the battery. However, the electrolyte allows the movement of ions, the remainder of the atom or molecule from which the electron has been released.
  • ions are released from the anode, cross through the electrolyte and are stored in the cathode. During the recharge process, ions are transferred through the electrolyte back to the anode.
  • the electrolyte is liquid. Liquid electrolytes effectively allow the movements of ions between the anode and the cathode.
  • the use of liquid electrolytes has several disadvantages. In most batteries, the liquid electrolyte contributes a substantial portion of the battery's overall weight. In addition, most electrolytes are composed of hazardous chemicals, including acid. In the event of a short circuit or other physical damage to the battery, the liquid electrolyte may become free to flow to the reaction site and produce a continuous chemical reaction. This reaction may result in excess heat or a gas discharge, and if not properly released, may be explosive. Although batteries are sealed when manufactured, leaks can occur through misuse or a breakdown of the battery's packaging over time, posing a significant safety risk.
  • Polymer electrolyte batteries represent a new battery technology that differs significantly from conventional battery technology and promises significantly improved performance.
  • a polymer electrolyte battery includes an anode, such as a lithium metal anode, a single-phase, flexible solid polymer electrolyte, and a cathode that stores lithium ions.
  • the polymer electrolyte is a solid.
  • the use of a solid electrolyte makes it possible to substantially reduce the weight and volume of the battery.
  • solid electrolyte lithium batteries have not been available commercially because such batteries have operated effectively only at high temperatures.
  • the present invention generally relates to battery constructions and manufacturing techniques that permit efficient use of electrode material in batteries and that facilitate construction of batteries.
  • a battery cell comprises a sheet-like first electrode current collector having two sides. First electrode material is in electrical contact with both sides of the first electrode current collector.

  • the battery further comprises a housing enclosing the plurality of battery cells.
  • a method of making a battery comprises the steps of covering at least a portion of both sides of a first electrode current collector with a first electrode material to form a first electrode.

Air flow can be provided by natural or forced convection.

Sealing the battery pack 1 in the foregoing manner helps to prevent damage to the battery cells 10 that might occur due to exposure to the elements; particularly exposure to water, which is highly reactive with many anode materials such as lithium.
  • the battery pack 1 can be enclosed in a housing 60 such that the extended portions 47, 47', 47" of the anode cu ⁇ ent collectors 43, 43', 43" are enclosed within the housing.

  • edges 62 of the shrink wrap material where the electrical connectors 53, 54 extend through the wall 61 of the housing 60 are sealed with hot melt adhesive 63.
  • the housing 60 is preferably selected such that open spaces are provided near the extended portions 47, 47', 47" of the battery cells 10, 10', 10" to permit internal ventilation of the battery cells.
  • the above-described battery cell 10 provides significant advantages. For example, by depositing lithium on the cu ⁇ ent collector 43, the thickness of the anode laminate 41, and of the top and bottom anode layers 49, 51 is able to be carefully controlled. In a typical application, lithium anode layers 49, 51 of 5 to 15 microns in thickness are sufficient, depending on the capacity of the cell. Lithium foils, on the other hand, are not presently known to be commercially available in thicknesses less than about 75 microns. Using a lithium foil anode 75 microns thick in an application where a layer of lithium of only 5 to 15 microns thick would normally suffice results in a several-fold excess of lithium.
  • the concentration of lithium in the battery can be reduced, reducing expense, enhancing safety, and not least of all, reducing the volume of the battery cell 10. Furthermore, the cu ⁇ ent collector 43 effectively partitions the battery cell 10, dividing the top and bottom anode layers 49, 51 into separate portions and forming a sort of reaction barrier between those separate portions. A potential problem in one part of the battery cell 10 is, therefore, less likely to affect other parts of the battery cell.
  • the above-described battery provides a means for efficiently removing sufficient heat from a battery cell 10 or a battery pack 1 to reduce risks due to explosions. This is done, as described above, by providing a heat sink in the form of thin metal foil cu ⁇ ent collector 43 that has been coated or covered, on a first portion 45, with lithium or other active metal.
  • a second portion 47 of the cu ⁇ ent collector 43 acts as a heat sink and radiator to maintain a low temperature in the interior of a battery cell 10.
  • the second portion 47 of the metal foil cu ⁇ ent collector 43 also provides a convenient method for removing cu ⁇ ent from the battery cell 10 at high rates.
  • first electrode material is coated or covered on the first portion 45 of both sides of the first electrode cu ⁇ ent collector 43 to form a top and bottom layers 49, 51 of the first electrode laminate 41.
  • Second electrode material is coated covered on at least one side of a second electrode cu ⁇ ent collector 23 to form a layer 25 of a second electrode laminate 21.
  • the second electrode material has an electromotive potential different from that of the first electrode material.
  • the first electrode laminate 41 is fixed in position relative to the second electrode laminate 21 and the electrolyte 27 such that the electrolyte is disposed between the first electrode material and the second electrode material to form the battery cell 10.
  • a plurality of battery cells 10, 10', 10" are preferably stacked on top of one another, and the first electrode cu ⁇ ent collectors 43, 43', 43" of the plurality of battery cells are electrically connected to one another.
  • the second electrode cu ⁇ ent collectors 23, 23', 23" of the plurality of battery cells 10, 10', 10" are also electrically connected to one another.
