BATTERIES AND METHODS OF MAKING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18368154 titled 'BATTERIES AND METHODS OF MAKING THE SAME

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a battery with an anode containing specific compositions, a solid-state electrolyte, and a cathode.

  • The anode consists of an alloy with 50-90 atom % lithium, 5-50 atom % of a first component, and 0.1-10 atom % of a second component.
  • The anode may also contain 20-99 atom % of a first component and 1-20 atom % of a second component, with the first component being magnesium, silver, or their combinations, and the second component being calcium, aluminum, gallium, boron, carbon, silicon, tin, zinc, indium, antimony, silver, or their combinations.
  • The solid-state electrolyte is positioned between the cathode and the anode.

Original Abstract Submitted

Batteries include a cathode, a solid-state electrolyte, and an anode. In aspects, the anode comprises an alloy including from about 50 atom % to about 90 atom % lithium, from about 5 atom % to about 50 atom % of a first component, and from about 0.1 atom % to about 10 atom % of a second component. In aspects, the anode includes from about 20 atom % to about 99 atom % of a first component and from about 1 atom % to about 20 atom % of a second component. The first component is selected from a group consisting of magnesium, silver, and combinations thereof. The second component is selected from a group consisting of calcium, aluminum, gallium, boron, carbon, silicon, tin, zinc, indium, antimony, silver, and combinations thereof. An amount of the first component is greater than an amount of the second component. The solid-state electrolyte is positioned between the cathode and the anode.
