  • Publication number: 20160099474
    Abstract: An electrochemical device, such as a battery or power source, provides improved performance under stringent or extreme conditions. Such an electrochemical device for use in high temperature conditions may include at least a cathode, a lithium-based anode, a separator, and an ionic liquid electrolyte. This device also may include a current collector and housing that are electrochemically inert with respect to other components of the device. This electrochemical device may operate at temperatures ranging from 0 to 180, 200, 220, 240, and 260° C.

  • Publication number: 20160087271
    Abstract: A battery for oilfield applications which may include: a housing and an electrolytic cell disposed in the housing. The electrolytic cell may include: a cathode, an anode, and a polymeric separator disposed between the cathode and anode. The cathode may include a cathode composite material coated on a substrate. The cathode composite material may include: a polymeric continuous phase; an active material; a carbon source; and; a first lithium salt. The anode may comprise lithium. The polymeric separator may include: a first polymer crosslinked by a photoinitiator; and a second lithium salt.
