  • Current collector design to reduce granule bed disruption
    Patent number: 10411305
    Abstract: Apparatus and methods to reduce granule disruption during manufacture of electrochemical cells, such as a metal halide electrochemical cell, are provided. In one embodiment, a current collector can include a diffuser strip extending beneath an aperture configured to receive an injection stream of molten electrolyte. The diffuser strip can be configured to dissipate an injection stream of molten electrolyte when the molten electrolyte is injected into an electrochemical cell. In this way, disruption of a granule bed by the injection of the molten electrolyte during manufacture of the electrochemical cell can be reduced.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 5, 2017
    Date of Patent: September 10, 2019
    Assignee: General Electric Company
    Inventors: Paul Sudworth, Grzegorz Maruszak
