  • Primer with electrochemically inert particulate and process for fabricating same
    Patent number: 6087045
    Abstract: A primer material for use with an electrode. The primer includes a fluid medium and electrochemically inert particulate having a dimensional thickness greater than the dimensional thickness of the fluid medium after the fluid medium is at least partially dried.
    Type: Grant

  • High capacity electrode paste and process for fabrication
    Patent number: 5856044
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a high capacity electrode paste and process for the fabrication of same. The resultant paste has a plurality of electrochemically active particles dispersed in solution. Additionally, during fabrication of the electrode paste, the electrochemically active material is subjected to a grinding step. After grinding the material to the desired particle sizes, the grinding medium is removed. However, the particles remain dispersed in solution, even after removal of the grinding medium. Accordingly, each of the individual particles have at least a portion of their respective surfaces in contact with the solution.
