  • Publication number: 20250140780
    Abstract: Herein are described processes for and machines adapted for the production of lithium coated conductive substrates having conductive substrate planar surfaces. The process can include providing a lithium coated conductive substrate and then calendering the coated-foil to provide the desired planar surface(s). In a preferable instance, the process provides double sided lithium carrying conducive substrates useful in lithium metal batteries. In another instance, the process provides single or double sided coated-foils carrying polymeric sheets. The machines for the production of the desired products preferably include apparatus for the deposition of lithium metal onto a conductive substrate and one or more calendering systems, preferable within a single vacuum chamber.

  • Patent number: 12168085
    Abstract: A surgical system including an implantable medical device having a size and shape. The surgical device having a substrate and a coating that covers at least a portion of the substrate. The coating includes a polymer, collagen, glycerin and a hemostatic agent. The polymer is selected from the group of polyhydroxybutyrate, polyglycerol sebacate and adducts of polyglycerol sebacate. The substrate including a first piece and a second piece that is joined with the first piece. The first piece and the second piece forming a pocket having a cavity and an opening that is in communication with the cavity. The device being pre-formed such that a size and shape of the cavity conforms to the size and shape of the implantable medical device.

  • Publication number: 20240170639
    Abstract: Lithium anodes that include lithium metal sheets or foils welded to current collectors are described with processes for their formation. One example is a lithium metal anode for use in a battery that includes a current collector carrying proximal lithium metal layers that carry distal lithium metal layers. The proximal lithium metal layers having thicknesses of about 100 nm to about 25 ?m and having greater than about 99.5 wt. % lithium, the distal lithium metal layers having thicknesses of about 10 ?m to about 200 ?m and having greater than about 90 wt. % lithium. Notably, the proximal and distal lithium differ in their average grain sizes with the distal average grain size but at least 1.5 times the size of the proximal average grain size.

  • Publication number: 20240158940
    Abstract: Systems and processes for the production of lithium metal from molten salts. Systems can include a ceramic tube affixed by or to a freeze-composite. The freeze-composite includes a matrix, of a salt and a dispersed phase. The freeze is maintained with a cooling collar to maintain a temperature below the melting point of the salt. Systems can include a molten-catholyte and a molten-anolyte each adjacent to separate surfaces of the ceramic tube. The freeze-composite forms a fluidic and non-conductive barrier between the molten-catholyte and the molten-anolyte. Processes include a freeze-composite affixed to the ceramic tube. The ceramic tube is adjacent to a composite collar which is adjacent to a cooling collar; The cooling fluid is passed through the cooling collar. A molten-catholyte is passed along a first surface of the ceramic tube. A molten-anolyte is passed along to a second surface of the ceramic tube.
