  • Method for coating noble metals on titanium current collectors for use in nonaqueous Li/CFcells
    Patent number: 8268466
    Abstract: A lithium/fluorinated carbon electrochemical cell having the CFx material supported on a titanium current collector screen sputter coated with a noble metal is described. The gold, iridium, palladium, platinum, rhodium and ruthenium-coated titanium current collector provides the cell with higher rate capability, even after exposure to high temperatures, in comparison to cells of a similar chemistry having the CFx contacted to a titanium current collector painted with a carbon coating.
    Type: Grant

  • Dual anode capacitor with internally connected anodes
    Patent number: 7483260
    Abstract: A capacitor a casing of first and second casing members, a feedthrough electrically insulated from the casing and extending there from, first and second anodes electrically connected to each other within the casing, a cathode, and an electrolyte is described. The first anode is electrically connected in parallel to the second anode by a first anode wire having opposite ends contacting the respective first and second anodes. A feedthrough wire extending outside the casing and electrically isolated there from is electrically connected to the first anode wire intermediate the first and second anodes. The cathode is disposed between the first and second anodes.

  • Dual Anode Capacitor With Internally Connected Anodes
    Publication number: 20080151474
    Abstract: A capacitor comprising a casing of first and second casing members, a feedthrough electrically insulated from the casing and extending there from, first and second anodes electrically connected to each other within the casing, a cathode, and an electrolyte. The casing comprises first and second casing members, the first casing member having a first face wall joined to a surrounding side wall, and the second member having a second face wall, wherein the first and second casing members are secured together.

  • Method For Coating Noble Metals On Titanium Current Collectors For Use In Nonaqueous Li/CFx Cells
    Publication number: 20060141340
    Abstract: A lithium/fluorinated carbon electrochemical cell having the CFx material supported on a titanium current collector screen sputter coated with a noble metal is described. The gold, iridium, palladium, platinum, rhodium and ruthenium-coated titanium current collector provides the cell with higher rate capability, even after exposure to high temperatures, in comparison to cells of a similar chemistry having the CFx contacted to a titanium current collector painted with a carbon coating.
