  • Patent number: 11532834
    Abstract: Disclosed are an all-solid battery and a method of manufacturing the same. The all-solid battery as disclosed herein may include current collectors having the same size for a cathode and an anode, the elongation areas of the cathode and the anode may be controlled due to the ductility of the current collectors during a pressing process. Thus, areas of the anode and the cathode may become different from each other upon the pressing, thus preventing a short-circuit fault from being formed at the edge portion thereof in the pressing process.

  • Patent number: 11335951
    Abstract: An improved, low porosity, solid electrolyte membrane and a method of manufacturing the solid electrolyte membrane are provided. The low porosity, solid electrolyte membrane significantly improves both mechanical strength and porosity of the membrane, inhibits the growth of lithium dendrites (Li dendrites), and thereby maintains and maximizes electrochemical stability of an all-solid-state battery. This is accomplished by wet-coating a sulfide or oxide solid electrolyte particle with a thermoplastic resin, or a mixture of the thermoplastic resin and a thermosetting resin, using a solvent to prepare a composite and hot-pressing the composite at a relatively low temperature and at a low pressure.
