  • Publication number: 20210253852
    Abstract: A composite solid state electrolyte comprises a polymer electrolyte material, a ceramic ion conductor, and a functionalized coupling agent selected to be compatible with the ceramic ion conductor and the bulk polymer compound. The polymer electrolyte material comprises a bulk polymer compound and a lithium salt. The functionalized coupling agent has a backbone that is structurally similar to the bulk polymer compound.

  • Publication number: 20200212431
    Abstract: A method for producing a cathode membrane for use in a lithium ion battery includes milling and sintering. The cathode membrane is comparatively dense. The cathode membrane can be formed by a composition of active materials and inorganic lithium ion conductors. Conductive additives can be included in the cathode composition. A conducting coating can be applied to a surface of the cathode membrane.

  • Patent number: 10280092
    Abstract: A disorder rock salt composition for use as a cathode active material. The stoichiometry of the lithium, niobium, oxygen, and transition metal components of the disordered rock salt is varied to improved performance in an electrochemical cell while substantially maintaining the disordered rock salt crystallographic structure.
