  • Spinodal-based co-continuous composites for high performance battery electrodes
    Patent number: 11362339
    Abstract: Electrodes and methods of creating co-continuous composite electrodes based on a highly porous current collector are provided. In one embodiment, a method for creating an electrode includes depositing a thin layer of material on the polymer template, removing polymer material of the polymer template and depositing a second material. The method may also include controlling internal surface area per unit volume and the active material thickness of at least the second material to tune the electrochemical performance of the electrode. In one embodiment, a composite electrode is provided including interpenetrating phases of a metal current collector, electrolytically active phase, and electrolyte.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 8, 2020
    Date of Patent: June 14, 2022
    Assignee: The Regents of the University of California
