Patent number: 11888144Abstract: A method of manufacturing an electrochemical cell includes transferring an anode semi-solid suspension to an anode compartment defined at least in part by an anode current collector and an separator spaced apart from the anode collector. The method also includes transferring a cathode semi-solid suspension to a cathode compartment defined at least in part by a cathode current collector and the separator spaced apart from the cathode collector. The transferring of the anode semi-solid suspension to the anode compartment and the cathode semi-solid to the cathode compartment is such that a difference between a minimum distance and a maximum distance between the anode current collector and the separator is maintained within a predetermined tolerance. The method includes sealing the anode compartment and the cathode compartment.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2022Date of Patent: January 30, 2024Assignee: 24M Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Alexander H. Slocum, Tristan Doherty, Ricardo Bazzarella, James C. Cross, III, Pimpa Limthongkul, Mihai Duduta, Jeffry Disko, Allen Yang, Throop Wilder, William Craig Carter, Yet-Ming Chiang

Patent number: 11876374Abstract: Systems and method for optimal control of one or more energy storage systems are provided. Based on live, historical, and/or forecast data received from one or more data sources, one or more forecasts of one or more parameters relating to the operation of the one or more energy storage systems and an associated forecast uncertainty may be calculated by various forecasting techniques. Using one or more optimization techniques, an optimal dispatch schedule for the operation of the one or more energy storage systems may be created based on the forecasts. The optimal dispatch schedule may be used to determine one or more energy storage system parameters, which are used to control the operation of the energy storage systems.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2020Date of Patent: January 16, 2024Assignee: IHI Terrasun Solutions Inc.Inventors: Tristan Doherty, Sergey Crane, Yuji Koguma, Marco Ferrara

Publication number: 20220285669Abstract: Embodiments described herein generally relate to semi-solid suspensions, and more particularly to systems and methods for preparing semi-solid suspensions for use as electrodes in electrochemical devices such as, for example batteries. In some embodiments, a method for preparing a semi-solid electrode includes combining a quantity of an active material with a quantity of an electrolyte to form an intermediate material. The intermediate material is then combined with a conductive additive to form an electrode material. The electrode material is mixed to form a suspension having a mixing index of at least about 0.80 and is then formed into a semi-solid electrode.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 26, 2022Publication date: September 8, 2022Applicant: 24M Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Tristan DOHERTY, Pimpa LIMTHONGKUL, Asli BUTROS, Mihai DUDUTA, James C.
