  • PROTECTED ELECTRODE STRUCTURES
    Publication number: 20140272565
    Abstract: An electrode structure and its method of manufacture are disclosed. The disclosed electrode structures may be manufactured by depositing a first release layer on a first carrier substrate. A first protective layer may be deposited on a surface of the first release layer and a first electroactive material layer may then be deposited on the first protective layer.

  • POLYMERS FOR USE AS PROTECTIVE LAYERS AND OTHER COMPONENTS IN ELECTROCHEMICAL CELLS
    Publication number: 20140127577
    Abstract: Electrode structures and electrochemical cells are provided. The electrode structures and/or electrochemical cells described herein may include one or more protective layers comprising a polymer layer and/or a gel polymer electrolyte layer. The polymer layer may be formed from the copolymerization of an olefinic monomer comprising at least one electron withdrawing group and an olefinic comonomer comprising at least one electron donating group. Methods for forming polymer layers are also provided.
