ELECTROCHEMICAL CELLS AND HEADERS HAVING SEALING FEATURES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240055704 titled 'ELECTROCHEMICAL CELLS AND HEADERS HAVING SEALING FEATURES

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a header for an electrochemical cell, which includes a planar plate covering the internal volume of the cell, a side wall extending from the upper surface of the plate, a recess defined by the upper surface and the side wall, and first and second steps on the lower surface of the plate to seal the internal volume.

• Planar plate covering internal volume of cell
• Side wall extending from upper surface of plate
• Recess defined by upper surface and side wall
• First and second steps on lower surface to seal internal volume

• • Potential Applications:**

- Energy storage systems - Electric vehicles - Portable electronic devices

• • Problems Solved:**

- Ensures proper sealing of the internal volume of the electrochemical cell - Provides structural support for the cell components

• • Benefits:**

- Improved safety by preventing leaks - Enhanced efficiency of the electrochemical cell - Longer lifespan of the cell due to proper sealing

Original Abstract Submitted

a header for an electrochemical cell includes a planar plate configured to cover an internal volume of the electrochemical cell, and a side wall extending from an upper surface of the planar plate in a direction perpendicular to the upper surface. the header also includes a recess defined by the upper surface of the planar plate and the side wall, and a first step and a second step on a lower surface of the planar plate, the first step and the second step configured to seal the internal volume. an aspect of an electrochemical cell includes an anode, a cathode, a cell casing and the header.
