  • Publication number: 20230059842
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing an all-solid-state battery cell includes depositing an interlayer directly onto an anode current collector; depositing a solid electrolyte onto the interlayer opposite the anode current collector; forming a cathode on the solid electrolyte opposite the interlayer, wherein the cathode contains one or more lithium-containing compounds; and applying pressure to achieve uniform contact between layers. The manufactured all-solid-state battery cell is anode-free prior to charging. The interlayer is configured such that lithium metal is deposited between the interlayer and the anode current collector during charging, the interlayer prevents contact between the lithium metal and the solid electrolyte, and the interlayer has a greater density than a density of the solid electrolyte.

  • Patent number: 11339924
    Abstract: A method for producing a high-pressure tank capable of suppressing break of a surface resin layer due to gas pressure as well as degradation in the tank quality. The method includes winding a thermosetting resin-impregnated fiber bundle around a liner so as to form an uncured fiber-reinforced resin layer thereon, first heating in which the uncured fiber-reinforced resin layer is locally heated at a first temperature so as to leach the thermosetting resin out of the uncured fiber-reinforced resin layer to form the surface resin layer, and the surface resin layer is cured to have cracks generated therein, and second heating in which the tank is entirely heated at a second temperature lower than the first temperature, so that the fiber-reinforced resin layer and surface resin layer are entirely cured, so as to obtain the tank with the surface resin layer locally having cracks generated therein.
