Patent number: 11063297Abstract: An electrolyte, an electrochemical cell including the electrolyte, and a battery including the electrochemical cell are disclosed. Exemplary electrolytes allow for electrochemical cells and batteries with relatively high efficiency and stability that can be charged to relatively high voltages.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2018Date of Patent: July 13, 2021Assignee: Viking Power Systems Pte, Ltd.Inventors: Jocelyn M. Newhouse, Robert Ellis Doe, Craig M. Downie, Robert E. Jilek, Matthew J. Trahan

Patent number: 10608234Abstract: A multi-electrode device that includes an anode electrode, a cathode electrode, and a gate electrode situated between the anode and cathode, and having an electrolyte. The multi-electrode device can be a secondary (rechargeable) electrochemical cell. The gate electrode is permeable to at least one mobile species which is redox-active at at least one of the anode and cathode. The gate electrode has a resistance that is lower than that of a conductive non-uniform morphological feature that could be grown on the anode. The gate electrode provides the ability to avoid, recognize, and remove the presence of such non-uniform morphological features, and provides an electrical electrode that can be used to remove such non-uniform morphological features.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 2017Date of Patent: March 31, 2020Assignee: Viking Power Systems Pte. Ltd.Inventors: David J. Eaglesham, Robert Ellis Doe, Christopher C. Fischer, Craig M. Downie, Matthew J. Trahan
