  • Publication number: 20230020972
    Abstract: An electrode assembly includes a plurality of electrodes arranged in a stack along a stacking axis, where each of the electrodes in the stack is separated along the stacking axis from a successive one of the electrodes in the stack by a respective separator portion positioned therebetween. At least one outer surface of the stack may include a pattern defining a first region and a second region, where a second portion of the stack corresponding to the second region has a different property or height from a first portion of the stack corresponding to the first region. The property may include any one of shading or color of the at least one outer surface of the stack, air permeability of the separator portions in the first and second regions, and adhesive force between the electrodes and separator portions in the first and second regions.

  • Publication number: 20230015931
    Abstract: An electrode assembly manufacturing method includes the steps of: assembling an electrode stack; performing a primary heat press operation on the electrode stack while engaging the electrode stack with a gripper; and then performing a secondary heat press operation on the electrode stack while the gripper is disengaged from the electrode stack. The secondary heat press operation may include applying heat and pressure to the electrode stack for a time period from 5 seconds to 60 seconds under a temperature condition from 50° C. to 90° C. and under a pressure condition from 1 Mpa to 6 Mpa. The step of assembling the electrode stack may include alternately stacking first and second electrodes on an elongated separator sheet, and sequentially folding the separator sheet over a previously-stacked one of the electrodes before a subsequent electrode is stacked. An apparatus for performing the manufacturing method is also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20230013024
    Abstract: An electrode assembly includes a plurality of electrodes arranged in a stack along a stacking axis with a respective separator portion of an elongated separator sheet positioned between and winding around each of the electrodes in the stack along a serpentine path. The plurality of electrodes include a top electrode positioned at a top of the stack along the stacking axis, and the plurality of electrodes include a bottom electrode positioned at a bottom of the stack. The separator portions in the stack include a top separator portion abutting the top electrode and a bottom separator portion abutting the bottom electrode. The bottom electrode may have a thickness along the stacking axis that is from 80% to 120% of a thickness of the top electrode along the stacking axis. Moreover, a maximum thickness of each of the electrodes in the stack may be less than 8.3 mm.

  • Publication number: 20230015260
    Abstract: An electrode assembly includes a plurality of electrodes arranged in a stack along a stacking axis, where each of the electrodes is separated from a successive one of the electrodes in the stack by a respective planar portion of an elongated separator sheet. The elongated separator sheet may be folded between each planar portion such that the elongated separator sheet follows a serpentine path traversing back and forth orthogonal to the stacking axis to extend between each successive one of the electrodes in the stack. First lateral ends of a plurality of electrodes may be offset by a first distance in the orthogonal dimension with respect to the first lateral end of either the first electrode in the stack or one of the two adjacent electrodes in the stack, where the first distance is no more than 10% of a lateral width of any select one of the electrodes.
