  • Publication number: 20190355942
    Abstract: A package structure and its related electricity supply system are disclosed. Two substrates of the package structure are directly or indirectly served as current collectors of the electricity supply system. The sealing frame of the package structure is made of several silicone layers having high moisture-resistance and/or high gas-resistance. Hence, the package structure mentioned may not only provide a novel electrical conduction module to lower the intrinsic impedance of the electricity supply system itself but prevent the moisture and the gas outward from the electricity supply unit inside the package structure as well. Consequently, the electrical performance and safety of the electricity supply system are both improved.

  • Publication number: 20190252676
    Abstract: The invention discloses a composite electrode materials. The composite electrode materials of this invention includes at least one active material. The active material is coated an artificial passive film on its surface to effectively block the contact of the electrolyte and the active material to prevent unnecessary consumption of Li-ions. Also, there have a middle layer and an outer layer outside of the artificial passive film. Both of the middle layer and the outer layer are composed of the gel/liquid electrolyte and the solid electrolyte, but with different concentration ratios. Therefore, the better ion-conduction is achieved with reduced charge-transfer resistance and reduced amount of organic solvent.

  • Publication number: 20190123326
    Abstract: A composite battery cell includes a plurality of electricity supply elements connected to each other in series/parallel to form the electricity supply element groups. The electricity supply element groups are connected to each other in parallel/series and packed to form the battery cell with high capacity and high voltage. Each electricity supply element is an independent module and the electrolyte system does not circulate therebetween. There only have charges transferred rather than electrochemical reactions between the adjacent electricity supply elements. Therefore, the electrolyte decomposition would not occur result from the high voltage caused by connecting in series. Both series and parallel connection are made within the package of the battery cell to achieve high capacity and high voltage.

  • Publication number: 20180102547
    Abstract: A current collector is disclosed in the present invention. The current collector comprises a conductive substrate and a plurality of isolation regions. The conductive substrate has a plurality of holes. Each hole has two openings. The isolation regions, which only partially cover the surface of the conductive substrate, are disposed at least on the areas nearby the peripheral surface of the openings. Due to the electrical insulation of the isolation regions formed nearby the peripheral surface of the openings, the lithium ions would not deposit centrally close to the openings of the holes during the electrical-chemical reaction of the battery. Accordingly, only few lithium dendrites are formed inside the holes and grow towards the separator so that the position and the amount of the formation of the lithium dendrite can be effectively controlled. Thus, the safety of the battery can be greatly improved.
