SOLID-STATE BATTERY AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING SOLID-STATE BATTERY - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240162533 titled 'SOLID-STATE BATTERY AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING SOLID-STATE BATTERY

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a solid-state battery with specific layers and a thermoplastic resin layer joining them together.

  • The battery includes a first current collector layer, a first active material layer, a solid electrolyte layer, a second active material layer, and a second current collector layer.
  • The first and second current collector layers have extended portions that are joined together via a thermoplastic resin layer.
  • The solid electrolyte layer and the second current collector layer are also joined via the thermoplastic resin layer, or alternatively, the first active material layer and the second current collector layer are joined in the same way.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in electric vehicles, portable electronics, and grid energy storage systems.

Problems Solved

This innovation addresses the need for high-performance, safe, and long-lasting energy storage solutions.

Benefits
