  • Publication number: 20150155564
    Abstract: The present patent application relates to a device for a lithium electrochemical generator, said device comprising a band (100) of electrical insulating material including at least one polymer, and at least one metallic layer (102) which forms a current collector and is deposited on at least one of the two main faces in the central part of the band. The central part (100C) of the band comprises a plurality of holes (101) emerging on its two opposite main faces, said holes being filled at least partially with a metal that is continuous with each deposited metallic layer. The periphery of the band (100P) is devoid of metallic layer and at least one metallic layer is covered with an electrode of lithium insertion material.

  • Publication number: 20150040646
    Abstract: A method for evaluating sealing of a bipolar structure including a sheet-like substrate forming a current collector, and two electrodes in a form of films arranged on opposite surfaces of the substrate, respectively, the method including: placing the bipolar structure in a cavity to define first and second compartments therein, which are separated by the bipolar structure, a periphery of which is sealingly connected to the cavity; circulating a fluid in the first compartment of the cavity toward the second compartment; and evaluating sealing of the bipolar structure from a measurement of difference in pressure of the fluid in the first and second compartments.

  • Publication number: 20140242465
    Abstract: A lithium-ion storage battery includes LiFePO4 as an active material for a positive electrode, an active material for a negative electrode having a lithium insertion/extraction potential equal to or greater than 0.5 V vs. Li+/Li, and a separating element placed between the positive and negative electrodes. The active material for the negative electrode is a lithiated titanium oxide, a derivative of a lithiated titanium oxide, a non lithiated titanium oxide, a derivative of a non lithiated titanium oxide or a mixture thereof. The separating element is formed from a non-woven fabric comprising cellulose fibers or glass fibers of nanometric and/or micrometric size.
