  • Solid electrolyte-liquid electrolyte hybrid cell
    Patent number: 11101526
    Abstract: A lithium cell, in particular a lithium-metal and/or lithium-ion solid electrolyte-liquid electrolyte hybrid cell, is described that includes an anode layer and a cathode layer. A separator layer is situated between the anode layer and the cathode layer. The cathode layer and/or the separator layer and/or the anode layer includes at least one solvent and/or at least one lithium conductive salt. To improve the rapid charge capacity of the cell, a dividing layer is situated between the cathode layer and the separator layer, which dividing layer is conductive for lithium ions and is impermeable for the at least one solvent of the cathode layer and/or of the separator layer and/or of the anode layer, and/or is impermeable for lithium conductive salt anions of the at least one lithium conductive salt of the cathode layer and/or of the separator layer and/or of the anode layer.
