Publication number: 20190260067Abstract: An electrode structure for use in an energy storage device comprising a population of electrodes, a population of counter-electrodes and a microporous separator separating members of the electrode population from members of the counter-electrode population. Each member of the electrode population comprises an electrode active material layer and an electrode current conductor layer, and each member of the electrode population has a bottom, a top, a length LE, a width WE and a height HE, wherein the ratio of LE to each of WE and HE is at least 5:1, the ratio of HE to WE is between 0.4:1 and 1000:1, and the electrode current collector layer of each member of the electrode population has a length LC that is measured in the same direction as and is at least 50% of length LE.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 30, 2018Publication date: August 22, 2019Inventors: Harrold Jones Rust, III, Ashok Lahiri, Murali Ramasubramanian, Robert M. Spotnitz, Robert A. Cole, Gunther Koblmiller, Nirav Shah, Brian E. Brusca, Christopher G. Castledine, Laurie J. Lauchlan, James D. Wilcox

Patent number: 8999558Abstract: Various methods and apparatus relating to three-dimensional battery structures and methods of manufacturing them are disclosed and claimed. In certain embodiments, a three-dimensional battery comprises a battery enclosure, and a first structural layer within the battery enclosure, where the first structural layer has a first surface, and a first plurality of conductive protrusions extend from the first surface. A first plurality of electrodes is located within the battery enclosure, where the first plurality of electrodes includes a plurality of cathodes and a plurality of anodes, and wherein the first plurality of electrodes includes a second plurality of electrodes selected from the first plurality of electrodes, each of the second plurality of electrodes being in contact with the outer surface of one of said first plurality of conductive protrusions. Some embodiments relate to processes of manufacturing energy storage devices with or without the use of a backbone structure or layer.Type: GrantFiled: January 11, 2008Date of Patent: April 7, 2015Assignee: Enovix CorporationInventors: Harrold Jones Rust, III, Ashok Lahiri, Murali Ramasubramanian, Robert Spotnitz
