  • Microwave drying of lithium-ion battery materials
    Patent number: 10181599
    Abstract: A method for making a lithium-ion cell includes depositing an electrode material as a coating on a substrate of the lithium-ion cell, irradiating the deposited electrode material with microwave radiation of varying frequency, wetting the irradiated electrode material with a non-aqueous electrolyte solution, and sealing the wetted electrode material in an air-tight enclosure.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 14, 2013
    Date of Patent: January 15, 2019
    Inventors: Chad Allison, Iftikhar Ahmad
  • Thermal gap pad for a prismatic battery pack
    Patent number: 9450276
    Abstract: A battery pack includes at least one voltaic cell module. A substrate is mechanically coupled to the module and configured to receive excess heat therefrom. A section of an electrically insulating thermal gap pad is arranged between the module and the substrate. The pad includes a dielectric sheet supporting a deformable layer.

  • Heterogeneous Ohmic Contact for a Voltaic Cell
    Publication number: 20130004829
    Abstract: An electrochemical cell has first and second electroactive layers, a heterogeneous ohmic contact, and a homogeneous ohmic contact. The heterogeneous ohmic contact includes dissimilar first and second conductors, with the first conductor joined to the first electroactive layer and the second conductor oriented opposite the first electroactive layer. The homogeneous ohmic contact includes the second conductor, joined to the second electroactive layer.
