Patents by Inventor Christopher Kompella

Christopher Kompella has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11688857
    Abstract: A battery with anti-corrosion protection is provided. The battery can include an electrolyte and a current collector. The electrolyte may be formed from one or more reactive salts capable of corroding the current collector. As such, the current collector may be interposed between a first anti-corrosion layer and a second anti-corrosion layer. The first anti-corrosion layer and/or the second anti-corrosion layer can be configured to prevent the current collector from being corroded by the reactive salts included in the electrolyte by preventing contact between the current collector and the electrolyte. Related methods for corrosion prevention are also provided.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: June 27, 2023
    Assignee: American Lithium Energy Corporation

  • Publication number: 20200127336
    Abstract: A battery cell may be formed to include a surplus lithium. The surplus lithium may be disposed inside a cavity formed by winding a separator, a positive electrode, and a negative electrode to form a jelly roll of the battery cell. The surplus lithium may be discharged in order to pre-lithiate the battery cell. For example, the surplus lithium may be coupled with the positive electrode and discharged while the battery cell is at least partially charged. Alternatively, the surplus lithium may be coupled with the negative electrode and discharged while the battery cell is at least partially discharged. Moreover, the surplus lithium may be coupled with a negative current collector of the battery cell in order to prevent one or more chemical reactions triggered by an over discharge of the battery cell from corroding the negative current collector of the battery cell.
