ALL-SOLID-STATE BATTERY - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17929051 titled 'ALL-SOLID-STATE BATTERY
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an all-solid-state battery design that includes various layers and components.
- The battery consists of an electrode body with a layered structure, including an anode current collector layer, an anode composite material layer, a solid electrolyte layer, a cathode composite material layer, and a cathode current collector layer.
- The electrode body is enveloped by an outer encasement member.
- A protective member with electrically insulating properties is placed on the side surface of the layered structure.
- The protective member features a groove that extends along the direction of the surface of the layered structure.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Electric vehicles: All-solid-state batteries could provide longer driving ranges and faster charging times, making them suitable for electric vehicles.
- Portable electronics: The compact and high-performance nature of all-solid-state batteries could enhance the battery life and performance of smartphones, laptops, and other portable devices.
- Renewable energy storage: All-solid-state batteries could be used to store energy generated from renewable sources, such as solar or wind power, for later use.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Safety concerns: All-solid-state batteries are considered safer than traditional lithium-ion batteries as they eliminate the risk of leakage or combustion.
- Energy density: All-solid-state batteries have the potential to offer higher energy density, allowing for longer-lasting and more powerful battery performance.
- Stability: The layered structure and protective member contribute to the stability and durability of the battery, ensuring reliable operation over time.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved safety: The all-solid-state design reduces the risk of accidents related to battery leakage or combustion.
- Enhanced performance: The layered structure and protective member contribute to the stability and efficiency of the battery, resulting in improved overall performance.
- Versatile applications: The technology can be applied to various industries, including electric vehicles, portable electronics, and renewable energy storage, offering a wide range of potential uses.
Original Abstract Submitted
An all-solid-state battery includes: an electrode body that is provided with a laminate including an anode current collector layer, an anode composite material layer, a solid electrolyte layer, a cathode composite material layer, and a cathode current collector layer; an outer encasement member that envelops the electrode body; and a protective member with electrically insulating properties that is disposed on a side surface of the laminate. The protective member has a groove extending along a direction in which a surface of the laminate extends.
