Patent number: 10811692Abstract: An anode component for a lithium-ion cell is formed using an atmospheric plasma deposition. The anode component has an anode material layer comprising high lithium-intercalating capacity silicon particles as active anode material in pores of a bonded layer of metal particles. The atmospheric plasma deposition process deposits metal particles and smaller silicon-containing particles concurrently or sequentially on an anode current collector substrate or polymeric separator substrate for the lithium-ion cell. The anode material layer may optionally be lithiated in the atmospheric plasma deposition process. The plasma deposition process is used to form a porous electrode layer on the substrate consisting essentially of a porous metal matrix containing smaller particles of the electrode material particles supported and carried in the pores of the matrix. When the anode component is assembled into a cell, remaining pore capacity is filled with a lithium-ion containing liquid electrolyte solution.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 2019Date of Patent: October 20, 2020Assignee: Intecells, Inc.Inventor: Xiaohong Gayden

Patent number: 7451907Abstract: A current collector plate, also called a bipolar plate, for a fuel cell includes two facing metal sheets with fluid channels for the fuel (often hydrogen) on the non-facing side of one sheet and fluid channels for air on the non-facing side of the other sheet. Such a plate is made by applying a patterned coating of particles of a soft and reactive metal to at least one of the sheets and rolling them together so that the soft metal particles deform and interact with the facing sheets to selectively join them at the patterned areas. Pressurized fluid is introduced between the sheets to expand non-bonded portions and define the fluid channels.Type: GrantFiled: August 6, 2004Date of Patent: November 18, 2008Assignee: General Motors CorporationInventors: David R. Sigler, Xiaohong Gayden, Yen-Lung Chen

Patent number: 7258263Abstract: A method for making a current collector plate includes providing a first sheet of material having a first bonding face and a first outer face. A second sheet of material is provided having a second bonding face and a second outer face. A work area is defined on at least one of the first bonding face and the second bonding face. The first and second sheets are bonded together at a bonding area which is different from the work area. The bonded first and second sheet is placed into a die having a pattern defining at least one flow channel. Fluid is injected between the first and second sheets thereby causing at least one of the first and second sheets to project outward at the work area causing at least one flow channel to be formed in the work area as defined by the die pattern.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2003Date of Patent: August 21, 2007Assignee: General Motors CorporationInventors: David R Sigler, Yen-Lung Chen, Xiaohong Gayden

Publication number: 20070187469Abstract: In an assembly of facing metal sheets separated by a polymer layer, welded metallurgical bonds are formed between the metal sheets by use of a friction stir weld tool. A rotating tool penetrates the first sheet, locally displaces the encountered portion of polymer film and penetrates into the second sheet. The affected metal of the two sheets is momentarily plasticized and stirred, and the plasticized metal of the two sheets combines to form a weld between the metal sheets. The interposed polymer film may be intended to serve as an adhesive or a vibration damping medium or the like. The facing metal sheets can be layers of facing laminated metal sheet structures that each comprise two metal sheets bonded by an adhesive interlayer.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 16, 2006Publication date: August 16, 2007Applicant: GM Global Technology Operations, Inc.Inventors: Yen-Lung Chen, Douglas Faulkner, Peter Parlow, Mark Verbrugge, Xiaohong Gayden, John Fickes, Peter Foss

Publication number: 20070044901Abstract: One side of a metal sheet is joined to a polymer layer by applying heat to a joining area on the opposite side of the metal. The heat flows through the thin metal to activate a thermoplastic material or heat setting polymer into a bond with the metal. The method can be used to bond the metal sheet to a plastic body or another metal member. It is preferred to use a friction or friction stir tool to heat the metal surface.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 22, 2006Publication date: March 1, 2007Applicant: GM GLOBAL TECHNOLOGY OPERATIONS, INC.Inventors: Yen-Lung Chen, Peter Foss, Mark Verbrugge, Xiaohong Gayden
