  • Publication number: 20210399293
    Abstract: A multi-section electrode for lithium batteries, wherein the multi-section electrode includes a plurality of sections, each section of the plurality of sections divided into a major part and a minor part. The major part can have a larger path to the current collector compared to the minor part which results in faster charging and discharging of the major part in comparison with the minor section, wherein the minor section can retain a charge for longer duration and help reduce electrode fatigue and breakdown.

  • Patent number: 9236598
    Abstract: A porous ceramic electrode with metallic coating and a high quantity of iron particles/iron alloys is applied to the top side of the wet (not dried) ceramic electrode, which forms first layer of a bonding process for metallic bonding to ceramics. Iron particles are added to a wet porous ceramic electrode and then attracted to one side of the electrode with a magnetic field; by turning a magnet on and drawing doped iron particles to the bottom side of the ceramic electrode. The iron particles are doped with a bonding agent to improve bonding the ceramic electrode to a second layer of metals. The second layer of metallic coating is a material that improves efficiently of the electrode on products such as fuel cell electrodes, hydrogen generator electrodes and batteries. The second coating may be applied using the atomic layer deposition method or vapor deposition.

  • Publication number: 20140101921
    Abstract: This is a novel design for a porous ceramic electrode with metallic coating and a high quantity of iron particles/iron alloys applied to the top side of the wet ceramic electrode which will be the first layer of the bonding process for metallic bonding to ceramics. The Iron particles will be added to the wet porous ceramic electrode and then attracted to one side of the electrode using the magnetic process; by turning a magnet on and drawing the doped iron particles to the bottom side of the ceramic electrode. The second layer of metallic coating will be a material that that makes the electrode work more efficiently. The metallic coating will be applied using the atomic layer deposition method or vapor deposition; this secondary metallic deposit will improve the efficiency of the ceramic electrode on products such as fuel cell electrodes, hydrogen generator electrodes and batteries.
