  • Patent number: 8300385
    Abstract: Composite carbon electrodes for use in, for example, Capacitive Deionization (CDI) of a fluid stream or, for example, an electric double layer capacitor (EDLC) are described. Methods of making the composite carbon electrodes are also described. The composite carbon electrode comprises an electrically conductive porous matrix comprising carbon; and an electric double layer capacitor, comprising an activated carbonized material, dispersed throughout the pore volume of the electrically conductive porous matrix.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8142522
    Abstract: Capacitive devices are described having electrical interconnects of electrodes which possess efficient electrical contact between current collectors, electrical isolation of electrodes, and/or electrochemical stability, while minimizing the mechanical stress and strain applied to the electrodes. The capacitive devices are adaptable to a wide range of electrode dimensions and electrode stack heights.

  • Publication number: 20080297980
    Abstract: Carbon electrodes for use in, for example, Capacitive Deionization (CDI) of a fluid stream or, for example, an electric double layer capacitor (EDCL). Methods of making the carbon electrodes are also described. The carbon electrode comprises an electrically conductive porous carbon support and a carbon cover layer comprising carbon particles in contact with the electrically conductive porous carbon support. A carbonizable material is within the electrically conductive porous carbon support and provides a bond to the carbon particles at the interface of the electrically conductive porous carbon support and the carbon cover layer. The electrically conductive porous support in some embodiments is a layered structure, where one of the layers is a carbonizable paste layer having electrically conductive particles mixed therein.
