  • Publication number: 20190296333
    Abstract: A lithium-ion battery is disclosed which uses lithium titanate as the anode material in the discharge of the cell(s) of the battery and a mixture of lithium manganese oxide (LMO) with a minor portion of a selected lithium-additional metal element-oxygen compound as the cathode material. The selected lithium compound is compatible with the lithium manganese oxide as a cathode material and has a lower and useful discharge potential than the LMO at the end of the discharge cycle of the cell. The electrode materials are used in combination with a non-aqueous solution of a lithium salt electrolyte. Damage to the electrode materials by over-discharge of the cell can be minimized by utilizing a predetermined portion of the selected lithium compound in mixture with lithium manganese oxide which provides additional capacity for self-discharge of the cell after it has reached a predetermined degree of discharge.

  • Publication number: 20190288328
    Abstract: The electrical performance and structural integrity of lithium battery electrodes, formed of particles of active electrode materials, are improved by mixing electrically conductive wires (metal wires, carbon fibers, and/or the like, including chemically-reduced metal oxide particles) with the particles of active electrode material. For example, copper wires may be intimately mixed with anode particles in porous anode layers which are resin-bonded to sides of a copper current collector foil. And aluminum wires may be mixed with cathode particles in porous cathode layers resin bonded to an aluminum current collector. The wires may be used to increase both the conductivity of electrons and lithium ions and the flexibility of the electrode layer when the electrodes are infiltrated with a solution of a lithium salt electrolyte. The workable thickness of each electrode layer can thus be increased and its performance enhanced to produce a lower cost and better forming battery.
