ELECTRODE ASSEMBLY, BATTERY, AND ELECTRICAL DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240030433 titled 'ELECTRODE ASSEMBLY, BATTERY, AND ELECTRICAL DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The electrode assembly described in the patent application consists of a first electrode plate, a second electrode plate, and a separator located between them. The first electrode plate includes a first current collector and a first membrane with a tab groove. The second electrode plate includes a second current collector and a second membrane with a blocking groove and an alignment region defined by the blocking groove. The projection of the alignment region on the first electrode plate covers the first tab groove.
- The electrode assembly includes two electrode plates and a separator.
- The first electrode plate has a current collector and a membrane with a tab groove.
- The second electrode plate has a current collector and a membrane with a blocking groove and an alignment region defined by the blocking groove.
- The alignment region of the second electrode plate covers the tab groove of the first electrode plate.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Battery technology: The electrode assembly can be used in various battery systems, such as lithium-ion batteries, to improve their performance and efficiency.
- Energy storage: The electrode assembly can be utilized in energy storage systems, such as grid-scale storage, to enhance their capacity and reliability.
- Electric vehicles: The electrode assembly can be integrated into electric vehicle batteries to increase their energy density and extend the driving range.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Improved electrode alignment: The blocking groove and alignment region of the second electrode plate ensure proper alignment with the first electrode plate, reducing the risk of misalignment and improving overall battery performance.
- Enhanced current collection: The current collectors on both electrode plates facilitate efficient electron flow, minimizing resistance and maximizing energy transfer within the battery system.
- Prevention of short circuits: The tab groove on the first electrode plate and the blocking groove on the second electrode plate help prevent short circuits by ensuring proper separation between the electrodes.
Benefits of this technology:
- Increased battery efficiency: The electrode assembly design improves the overall efficiency of the battery system by reducing resistance and improving electrode alignment.
- Enhanced battery performance: The improved current collection and prevention of short circuits contribute to better battery performance, including higher energy density, longer cycle life, and faster charging/discharging capabilities.
- Cost-effective manufacturing: The electrode assembly can be manufactured using existing production processes and materials, making it a cost-effective solution for battery manufacturers.
