LITHIUM ION BATTERY WITH COMPOSITE ELECTRODES: abstract simplified (18008847)

• This abstract for appeared for patent application number 18008847 Titled 'LITHIUM ION BATTERY WITH COMPOSITE ELECTRODES'

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a type of battery called a composite lithium ion battery. This battery has a special type of material in both the positive and negative electrodes, as well as a separator and an electrolyte. The composite material in the electrodes helps the battery perform better in several ways. It reduces the resistance to the flow of electricity, which means the battery can charge faster. It also has more capacity to store energy between certain voltage levels, and it has a higher energy density compared to other lithium ion batteries. Overall, these composite lithium ion batteries are an improvement over traditional lithium ion batteries.

Original Abstract Submitted

Composite lithium ion batteries having an anode with an anode collector and a composite anode material, a cathode with a cathode collector and a composite cathode material, a separator positioned between the anode and the cathode, and an electrolyte in contact with the anode and the cathode. Advantages of the composite lithium ion batteries include lower DC impedance, faster charging times, more reserve capacity between 3.0V and 2.5V, and an increased volumetric energy density relative to lithium ion batteries that do not include the described composite material electrodes.
