  • Publication number: 20240405254
    Abstract: The following is known: energy-storage elements (100) comprising a cathode (101) and an anode (102), which cathode and anode are parts of a composite body (109) in that they are provided, separated by a separator layer or solid-electrolyte layer (110), in the following sequence: cathode (101)-separator layer or solid-electrolyte layer (110)-anode (102), wherein the cathode (101) and the anode (102) comprise current collectors (101a and 102a) which each have, in addition to regions (101b and 102b) coated on both sides with electrode material (117 and 118), one edge strip (101c and 102c) which is not coated with electrode material.

  • Publication number: 20240387832
    Abstract: An energy storage element includes a first anode and a second anode, each including a negative electrode material and a common anode current collector. The common anode current collector comprises a first main region, a second main region, and a material-free connecting section that connects the first main region and the second main region. The energy storage element additionally includes a first cathode and a second cathode, each of the first cathode and the second cathode includes a positive electrode material and a common cathode current collector. The common cathode current collector comprises a first main region, a second main region, and a material-free connecting section that connects the first main region and the second main region. The energy storage element further includes a first contact sheet contacting a connecting section of the anode current collector and a second contact sheet contacting a connecting section of the cathode current collector.

  • Publication number: 20240332547
    Abstract: An energy storage element includes a cathode including a cathode current collector with a main region and a free edge strip and an anode including an anode current collector with a main region and a free edge strip. The energy storage element also includes first and second contact sheet metal members in direct contact with the free edge strips. The cathode and the anode are separated by a separator or a solid electrolyte layer and are arranged relative to one another such that one free edge strip protrudes from one side of an assembly including the cathode and the anode and the other free edge strip protrudes from the other side. At least one free edge strips has, as a result of a folding and/or a rolling-up process, a thickness that corresponds at least to the thickness of the associated cathode or anode in an adjacent main region.

  • Patent number: 12096210
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a system for operating a waste container comprising a waste container which has an electronic control device, a first communication interface for transmitting and receiving data and a storage device, and a server which is remote from the waste container and has a second communication interface, wherein usage data can be stored in the storage device by the control device after use of the waste container, wherein the first communication interface has no device for direct data transmission to the second communication interface, wherein an indirect first data transfer between the first communication interface and the second communication interface and/or between the second communication interface and the first communication interface can be initiated via at least one further communication interface, which is provided in a further communication device, which is not associated with the waste container, wherein the stored usage data are transferable via the first data transfer to the
