Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to various electrodes suitable for electrochemical devices such as batteries, capacitors, sensors, condensers, electrochromic elements, photoelectric conversion elements, etc. Some embodiments are generally directed to electrode materials surrounded by electrolyte, e.g., filling in porous spaces within the electrode. For example, one aspect is generally directed to an electrochemical device comprising an electrode comprising particles. Some or all of the particles may be surrounded by an electrolyte, such as a solid electrolyte. Other aspects of the invention are generally directed to devices including such electrodes, methods of making or using such electrodes, kits including such electrodes, or the like.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to rechargeable battery packs and or rechargeable battery modules consisting of electrochemical cells in general and more specifically to lithium metal anode secondary electrochemical cells and the supporting mechanical structure of such packs or modules which apply and maintain a high and uniform normal compression pressure to the face of the interconnected cells of said battery packs, modules or individual cells, in order to suppress dendrite formation during charge and maintain a low cell impedance during charge and discharge. This is achieved with the use of a compression assembly having a compressible sheet with desired properties.

Abstract: A composition for forming an artificial sold electrolyte interphase (SEI) layer includes a polymer, an artificial SEI forming salt, and a solvent. The polymer and the artificial SEI forming salt are dispersed in the solvent.

Abstract: A waveguide is provided. The waveguide having a first core, a second core spaced apart from and parallel with the first core, and a cladding surrounding the first core and the second core. An interstitial portion of the cladding is located between the first core and the second core. A first region of the first core adjacent to the cladding or of the cladding adjacent to the first core is color dyed.
