Patent number: 11888144Abstract: A method of manufacturing an electrochemical cell includes transferring an anode semi-solid suspension to an anode compartment defined at least in part by an anode current collector and an separator spaced apart from the anode collector. The method also includes transferring a cathode semi-solid suspension to a cathode compartment defined at least in part by a cathode current collector and the separator spaced apart from the cathode collector. The transferring of the anode semi-solid suspension to the anode compartment and the cathode semi-solid to the cathode compartment is such that a difference between a minimum distance and a maximum distance between the anode current collector and the separator is maintained within a predetermined tolerance. The method includes sealing the anode compartment and the cathode compartment.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2022Date of Patent: January 30, 2024Assignee: 24M Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Alexander H. Slocum, Tristan Doherty, Ricardo Bazzarella, James C. Cross, III, Pimpa Limthongkul, Mihai Duduta, Jeffry Disko, Allen Yang, Throop Wilder, William Craig Carter, Yet-Ming Chiang

Publication number: 20230085181Abstract: Embodiments described herein relate generally to devices, systems and methods of producing high energy density batteries having a semi-solid cathode that is thicker than the anode. An electrochemical cell can include a positive electrode current collector, a negative electrode current collector and an ion-permeable membrane disposed between the positive electrode current collector and the negative electrode current collector. The ion-permeable membrane is spaced a first distance from the positive electrode current collector and at least partially defines a positive electroactive zone. The ion-permeable membrane is spaced a second distance from the negative electrode current collector and at least partially defines a negative electroactive zone. The second distance is less than the first distance.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 15, 2022Publication date: March 16, 2023Applicant: 24M Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Taison TAN, Yet-Ming CHIANG, Naoki OTA, Throop WILDER, Mihai DUDUTA
