摘要:
A battery module with one or more battery cells and a heat exchange member placed in thermal communication with the battery cell, and a method of making a heat pipe system from the heat exchange member. The heat exchange member includes a container with a heat transfer fluid disposed therein. In one form, the heat transfer fluid is capable of going through a phase change as a way to absorb at least a portion of heat present in or generated by battery cell. A pressure control device cooperates with the container and heat transfer fluid such that upon attainment of a predetermined thermal event within the battery cell, the pressure control device permits liberation of at least a portion of the heat transfer fluid to an ambient environment, thereby relieving pressure on the container and removing some of the excess heat caused by the thermal event.

An electrochemical device includes an electrochemical cell having a first volume for receiving a liquid reactant negative electrode material, a second volume for receiving a liquid reactant positive electrode material, and a lithium ion exchange membrane positioned between the first and second volumes. Liquid reactant negative electrode material includes lithium or a material including lithium. The lithium ion exchange membrane facilitates a lithium ion exchange reaction between the liquid reactant materials to generate a lithium depleted negative electrode material and a lithium enriched positive electrode material. The device also includes respective fluid exchange mechanisms i) to introduce the liquid reactant positive electrode material into the second volume and to extract the lithium enriched positive electrode material from the second volume and ii) to introduce the liquid reactant negative electrode material into the first volume and to extract the lithium depleted negative electrode material from the first volume.

An automotive battery module with one or more battery cells and a heat exchange member placed in thermal communication with the battery cell. Heat generated within the battery cell by, among other things, electric current that can be used to provide motive power for the automobile may be removed by the heat exchange member that is made up of a flexible substrate and one or more graphene layers disposed on the substrate. The construction of the substrate and graphene layer is such that multiple heat transfer paths are established, each defining different levels of thermal conductivity and related transfer of heat away from the battery cells.

An ultrasonic welding system for securing a first work piece to a second work piece includes a welding assembly and a loading assembly disposed adjacent to the welding assembly. The welding assembly includes an ultrasonic controller, an ultrasonic transducer, and a welding tip. The ultrasonic transducer is configured to impart an ultrasonic vibration to the welding tip in response to an electrical signal received from the ultrasonic controller. The loading assembly is configured to generate a pressure load between the welding tip and the first work piece, and includes a first actuator and a second actuator. The first actuator is configured to apply a substantially constant load to the welding assembly, and the second actuator is configured to apply a dynamically variable load to the welding assembly.

摘要:
A method of forming a conductive adhesive includes condensation-polymerizing a carrier onto a plurality of carbon nanotubes each disposed on a substrate and having a first end and a second end spaced opposite the first end. The carrier is spaced apart from the substrate so that each of the plurality of carbon nanotubes extends continuously through the carrier such that the first end and the second end are spaced apart from the carrier. After condensation-polymerizing, the method includes removing the substrate from the plurality of carbon nanotubes without removing the carrier from the plurality of carbon nanotubes to thereby form the conductive adhesive. A conductive adhesive for removably joining a first surface and a second surface is also disclosed.
