  • Bipolar structures for use with electrochemical devices, and associated systems and methods
    Patent number: 12334589
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are polymer conductive films for use with electrochemical devices. An exemplary electrochemical device can include an anode, a cathode, and a bipolar structure disposed between the anode and cathode. The bipolar structure includes a film having a plurality of conductive particles and a plurality of non-conductive polymers, wherein the polymers are integrated with the particles such that the film is non-porous and substantially compositionally homogeneous along a length and/or thickness of the film.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 13, 2020
    Date of Patent: June 17, 2025
    Assignee: BENAN ENERGY

  • BIPOLAR AQUEOUS INTERCALATION BATTERY DEVICES AND ASSOCIATED SYSTEMS AND METHODS
    Publication number: 20220238906
    Abstract: A bipolar aqueous intercalation battery (AIB) is disclosed herein. The AIB can comprise an anode, a cathode, a separator disposed between the anode and the cathode, a frame surrounding the anode, the cathode and the separator, and bipolar layers including a first bipolar layer at a first side of the frame and a second bipolar layer at a second side of the frame opposite the first side. The first bipolar layer and the second bipolar layer each abut the frame, such that the frame, the first bipolar layer and the second bipolar layer together are configured to contain an electrolytic fluid and form a water-tight seal around the anode, the cathode, and the separator.
