DRY ENERGY STORAGE DEVICE ELECTRODE AND METHODS OF MAKING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240105955 titled 'DRY ENERGY STORAGE DEVICE ELECTRODE AND METHODS OF MAKING THE SAME

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an energy storage device with a cathode and anode made of a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) composite binder material, including PTFE and other components such as polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), a PVDF co-polymer, and poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO). The ratio of PTFE to non-PTFE components in the binder material is about 1:1.

  • Energy storage device with cathode and anode made of PTFE composite binder material
  • Components of the binder material include PTFE, PVDF, PVDF co-polymer, and PEO
  • Ratio of PTFE to non-PTFE components is approximately 1:1
  • Suitable for lithium-ion batteries, capacitors, and other lithium-based energy storage devices
