POUCH-TYPE ALL-SOLID-STATE BATTERY WITH REFERENCE ELECTRODE INSERTED AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18077507 titled 'POUCH-TYPE ALL-SOLID-STATE BATTERY WITH REFERENCE ELECTRODE INSERTED AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THE SAME
Simplified Explanation
The present disclosure describes a pouch-type all-solid-state battery with a reference electrode inserted and a method for manufacturing it.
- The battery includes a unit cell with a negative electrode portion, a positive electrode portion, and a solid electrolyte portion.
- The unit cell is enclosed in an exterior material that has a space to accommodate the unit cell.
- A reference electrode tap is located adjacent to the solid electrolyte portion and is formed inside the exterior material.
- A reference electrode portion is positioned between the solid electrolyte portion and the reference electrode tap and is formed inside the unit cell.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Electric vehicles: The pouch-type all-solid-state battery can be used as a power source for electric vehicles, providing improved energy density and safety.
- Portable electronics: The compact size and high energy density of the battery make it suitable for use in smartphones, tablets, and other portable electronic devices.
- Renewable energy storage: The all-solid-state battery can be used to store energy generated from renewable sources such as solar and wind power.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Safety concerns: The use of a solid electrolyte instead of a liquid electrolyte eliminates the risk of leakage and thermal runaway, improving the safety of the battery.
- Energy density: The all-solid-state battery offers higher energy density compared to traditional lithium-ion batteries, allowing for longer-lasting and more powerful devices.
- Form factor: The pouch-type design allows for flexibility and customization, making it easier to integrate the battery into various applications.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved safety: The use of a solid electrolyte reduces the risk of fire and explosion associated with traditional lithium-ion batteries.
- Higher energy density: The all-solid-state battery provides increased energy storage capacity, allowing for longer usage times and improved performance.
- Flexibility and customization: The pouch-type design allows for the battery to be tailored to fit specific applications, making it more versatile.
