Abstract: Disclosed is a composite for forming a coacervate interfacial film. The composite for forming the coacervate interfacial film contains a cationic hectorite nanoplate-shaped particle structure containing a hectorite nanoplate-shaped particle and a cationic surfactant coupled to a surface of the hectorite nanoplate-shaped particle, and an anionic cellulose nanofibril containing an anionic functional group in at least a portion thereof, in which the composite may form the coacervate interfacial film at an interface of an oil phase and a water phase through electrostatic interaction between the cationic surfactant and the anionic functional group.

Abstract: An apparatus for calcining a secondary battery cathode material includes: a calcination furnace including an inner space that includes a temperature rising space, a temperature maintaining space, and a cooling space, which sequentially communicate; a plurality of rollers for transferring a sagger, in which a cathode material is accommodated, from the temperature rising space to the cooling space via the temperature maintaining space; a plurality of heaters arranged along the inner space; a plurality of gas feeding parts for feeding gas to the inner space; and a plurality of exhaust parts for exhausting gas from the inner space, wherein the cross-sectional area of the temperature maintaining space is smaller than the cross-sectional area of the temperature rising space and the cross-sectional area of the cooling space.

Abstract: Devices and methods for preparing a slurry for coating onto a substrate. The devices and methods of the present disclosure relate to providing a slurry in a closed volume with at least one passage. The slurry includes a solvent, a powder, and a binder. The slurry can also include a dispersion agent. The slurry is forced repeatedly under high pressure through the at least one passage in a first flow direction and then back through the at least one passage in a second flow direction, opposite the first flow direction. The forcing homogenously disperses the powder and the binder within the solvent. Both sides of the substrate are then coated simultaneously with the slurry extruded from the closed volume after the forcing. Curing of the coated slurry includes freeze drying to preserve the porosity of the slurry on the substrate.

Abstract: A battery pack system convertible among a series configuration, a parallel configuration, or both. The battery pack system includes a base component case having a housing configured to receive therein multiple batteries, and an expansion component case or a cap secured to the base component by a twist-and-lock feature. The battery pack system includes a positive conductor and a negative conductor running along an elongated interior of the base component case, and an insert composed of a dielectric and having a positive terminal and a negative terminal. The insert is configured to be inserted between adjacent batteries such that the positive terminal electrically connects to the positive conductor and the negative terminal electrically connects to the negative conductor to form a parallel-electrical connection between an adjacent battery pair, and such that, without the insert, an adjacent battery pair forms a series-electrical connection therebetween.
