Abstract: The present invention relates to a method to print all-solid-state batteries using aerosol jet printing technology. The method yields an improved solid-state lithium battery comprising a solvent free deposition of solid polymer electrolyte on top of printed cathode that provides tunable penetration into cathode without throughput or processing limitations of solution deposition and post-deposition UV cross linking that provides improved strength of the battery's relatively thin electrolyte films. The improved solid-state lithium battery exhibits a capacity that is significantly greater than previous solid-state lithium batteries at temperatures below 60° C., at rates of greater than C/3 with improved stability.

Abstract: A hybrid battery is provided that includes a cathode active material containing a carbon fluoride material and a phthalocyanine compound, an anode active material consisting of lithium metal, a lithium alloy, or a combination thereof; and a porous separator interposed between the cathode active material and the anode active material. The carbon fluoride material has a carbon to fluoride ratio of about 0.5 to about 3.0, and the phthalocyanine compound has an average particle size in a range from greater than 50 nm to less than about 500 nm. A weight ratio between the carbon fluoride material and the phthalocyanine compound is between about 1:20 to about 20:1. The performance (e.g., rate and discharge capacity) of this hybrid primary lithium battery is significantly enhanced.

Abstract: A solid-state electrolyte for rechargeable lithium batteries. The solid state electrolyte comprises a large unsaturated aromatic anion and a lithium charge carrier. The large unsaturated aromatic anion is selected from a di-lithium phthalocyanine and a di-lithium porphyrin, wherein one of the lithium ions of the unsaturated aromatic anion is replaced with a nitrogenous cation.
