Abstract: Microthin sheet technology is disclosed by which superior batteries are constructed which, among other things, accommodate the requirements for high load rapid discharge and recharge, mandated by electric vehicle criteria. The microthin sheet technology has process and article overtones and can be used to form thin electrodes used in batteries of various kinds and types, such as spirally-wound batteries, bipolar batteries, lead acid batteries silver/zinc batteries, and others. Superior high performance battery features include: (a) minimal ionic resistance; (b) minimal electronic resistance; (c) minimal polarization resistance to both charging and discharging; (d) improved current accessibility to active material of the electrodes; (e) a high surface area to volume ratio; (f) high electrode porosity (microporosity); (g) longer life cycle; (h) superior discharge/recharge characteristics; (i) higher capacities (A·hr); and (j) high specific capacitance.

Abstract: An integrated micro power supply is disclosed. In an exemplary embodiment, the micro power supply includes a microbattery formed within a substrate and an energy gathering device for capturing energy from a local ambient environment. An energy transforming device is also formed within the substrate for converting energy captured by the energy gathering device to electrical charging energy supplied to the microbattery.

Abstract: Improvements are disclosed for electrochemical cells of the type comprising at least two bipolar electrodes, with a space occurring between adjacent electrodes which contains a liquid electrolyte. Improvement include forming improved plates for the electrodes from a thermoplastic polymer containing carbon black, wherein the electrodes are formed by dissolving the polymer in a suitable solvent, mixing carbon black with the solvent solution of the polymer, evaporating the solvent from the polymer solution containing the dispersed carbon black, pulverizing the resultant mixture of polymer and carbon black to form a powder, and pressing the powder at an elevated temperature into the improved plates. There is further disclosed, improvements in the formation of electrochemically active material on the plates of the bipolar electrodes, as well as improved separators for positioning between the bipolar electrodes and improved means for sealing the spaces between bipolar electrodes.
