  • Publication number: 20160072121
    Abstract: An electrochemical storage device comprises a plurality of layer electrodes each including a first charged sector and a second charged sector. The plurality of layer electrodes are assembled with respect to each other such that the first charged sector of a first plate of the plurality of layer electrodes is laid below the second charged sector of a second plate of the plurality of layer electrodes located immediately above the first plate. The charges of the first charged sectors of the first and second plates have a first sign and the charges of the second charged sectors of the first and second plates have a second sign that is opposite the first sign. The device also comprises a separator sector located, and enabling ionic charge exchange, between the first charged sector of the first plate and the second charged sector of the second plate.

  • Publication number: 20150010807
    Abstract: An electrochemical storage device is disclosed. The device comprises a first electrochemical cell and a second electrochemical cell disposed in a common casing and each comprising an anode and a cathode. The anode of the first electrochemical cell is disposed opposite the cathode of the second electrochemical cell. The device further comprises a separator disposed between the anode of the first electrochemical cell and the cathode of the second electrochemical cell. The anode of the first electrochemical cell and the cathode of the second electrochemical cell are electrically insulated and in communication through an ionically conductive medium adsorbed in the separator. The device further comprises a common current collector disposed on the anode of the first electrochemical cell and the cathode of the second electrochemical cell. The first and second electrochemical cells are electrically connected and insulated from ionic conduction.
