POWER STORAGE MODULE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240178492 titled 'POWER STORAGE MODULE
Simplified Explanation
The power storage module described in the patent application includes a unique electrode laminate with bipolar electrodes, positive and negative terminal electrodes, a sealing portion, and a buffer region formation member. Each bipolar electrode consists of a current collector, positive electrode active material layer, and negative electrode active material layer. The positive terminal electrode features a positive electrode current collector foil and positive electrode active material layer, while the negative terminal electrode includes a negative electrode current collector foil and negative electrode active material layer. The sealing portion seals a region between the positive and negative electrode uncoated portions under lower pressure than atmospheric pressure. The buffer region formation member creates a buffer region in the stacking direction.
