  • Patent number: 10411289
    Abstract: A lithium battery includes a positive electrode designed as a hollow cylinder and defines a cavity, a negative electrode arranged in the cavity, a separator, a liquid electrolyte, a first current collector for the negative electrode, a second current collector for the positive electrode, an at least two-part housing that encloses an interior space in which the positive electrode together with the negative electrode arranged in the cavity and the separator are arranged, wherein a pin is provided as a first current collector inside the housing, a part of the housing serves as a second current collector, the pin has a first, terminal section embedded in the negative electrode and in direct contact with the negative electrode, and the pin has a second section not in direct contact with the negative electrode, and an insulator element that protects the second section at least partially against direct contact with the electrolyte.

  • Publication number: 20180254439
    Abstract: A button cell on a lithium-ion basis includes a housing sealed in a fluid-tight fashion and composed of a positively-poled metallic housing half and a negatively-poled metallic housing half, which halves are separated from one another by an electrically-insulating seal. A positive electrode and a negative electrode are arranged inside the housing. The positive electrode is in electrical contact with the positively-poled housing half, and the negative electrode is in electrical contact with the negatively-poled housing half. An ion-conductive separator is arranged between the electrodes. The positive electrode includes a metallic current collector. A porous three-dimensional structure whose pores are filled with a suitable electrochemically-active material serves as such a current collector. During the manufacturing of the button cell, the structure is connected to the positively-poled housing half by welding.

  • Patent number: 9101910
    Abstract: A method for the producing of an agent for the removal of dissolved phosphorus compounds from water, relying on the formation of the biopolymer metal compound system which is characterized by that, the natural plant fibers are subjected to the activation, subsequently the activated natural plant fibers are coated with biopolymer or derivatives thereof with the ionic character. The natural plant fibers are coated with at least one water-soluble polyvalent metal compound before or after coating the natural plant fibers with biopolymer or derivatives thereof with the ionic character. Such modified natural plant fibers form a composite fibrous material in the form of biopolymer hydrogel support crosslinked in the presence of water-soluble polyvalent metal compound support on the warp from natural fiber.
