  • Publication number: 20220013809
    Abstract: Methods for manufacturing a solid electrolyte membrane are provided, which allow visual determination of how much a porous sheet is filled with a solid electrolyte material, and thus can optimize selection of materials and manufacturing processes of a solid electrolyte membrane in a simple manner. The resulting solid electrolyte membrane can reduce the manufacturing cost and allow easy deformation, and thus can be processed with ease when it is applied to batteries having various shapes. Further, since the solid electrolyte membrane according to the present disclosure includes a composite of a porous polymer material, such as a nonwoven web, with a solid electrolyte material, it has excellent strength and allows formation of a thin film, and thus provides a battery with improved energy density advantageously.

  • Patent number: 10714743
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for manufacturing an electrode including a polymer electrolyte and an electrode obtained thereby. Particularly, the present disclosure relates to an electrode for a wide voltage battery which has improved reactivity on the surface of the electrode active material. The electrode provides an increased reactive site between an electrode active material and a polymer electrolyte and an improved ratio of the amount of active material in the electrode, and thus can provide a battery with improved energy density.
