  • Electrode for a charge storage device and method of manufacture
    Patent number: 8445133
    Abstract: An electrode for a charge storage device and a method for forming the electrode. The electrode comprises an electrode body having an essentially continuous phase of an active material, an essentially continuous phase of an electroconductive material, and an essentially continuous phase of void space. The active material is oxidized by applying a potential to the electrode body in the charge storage device so as to transform the active material to an oxide species thereof. The resulting oxide species of the active material has a higher active surface area than the active material prior to the oxidizing.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 29, 2010
    Date of Patent: May 21, 2013
    Assignee: Arizon Board of Regents for and on Behalf of Arizona State University
