Patent number: 11349147Abstract: Battery systems are provided that include a plurality of modules positioned within an enclosed space (e.g., a room, data center or storage system), wherein at least one of the modules includes a plurality of lithium ion cells and thermal insulator(s) positioned between adjacent lithium ion cells, and wherein the battery systems offer a requisite level of safety by scaling the system such that the internally available volume of the enclosed space (measured in liters) is in the range of about 39±5 times and 80±5 times the amp-hour (Ah) capacity of lithium ion cell(s) positioned therewithin, and associated methods for safe deployment of battery systems in enclosed spaces. The relevant lithium ion cell(s) for determination of Ah capacity is/are the lithium ion cell(s) that is/are thermally insulated relative to adjacent lithium ion cell(s).Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2021Date of Patent: May 31, 2022Assignee: Cadenza Innovation, Inc.Inventors: Maria Christina Lampe-Onnerud, Jay Jie Shi, Richard V.

Publication number: 20210057734Abstract: Materials and novel methods for producing carbon anodes for Li-ion batteries are described. These materials use natural flake graphite that has been processed to improve physical properties but retains residual impurities including silicates and other silicon containing minerals that are difficult to eliminate economically. For the purposes of battery anode material production, further purification is required and traditionally uses hydrofluoric acid, adding significant cost and environmental management requirements. Alternate novel processes result in less costly and more environmentally friendly methods when compared against the standard acid purification with hydrofluoric acid. Methods for direct graphitization of unpurified spheroidized graphite material that includes a carbonaceous coating in production of a lithium ion battery anode are provided. Materials generated using these methods may be blended with artificial graphite and particulate Silicon or SiOx materials for enhanced properties.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 21, 2020Publication date: February 25, 2021Applicant: Syrah Resources LimitedInventors: Camila de Savio Silva, Peter Ian Barnes, Jens Berkan, Joseph Russell Williams, Richard V.
