    Abstract: A capacitor-assisted, solid-state lithium-ion battery is formed by replacing at least one of the electrodes of the battery with a capacitor electrode of suitable particulate composition for the replaced battery particulate anode or cathode material. The solid-state electrodes typically contain quasi-solid-state electrode material and are separated with a layer of quasi-solid-state electrolyte material. In another embodiment the capacitor anode or cathode particles may be mixed with lithium-ion battery anode or cathode particles respectively. Preferably, the battery comprises at least two positively-charged electrodes and two negatively-charged electrodes, and the location, number and compositions of the capacitor material electrode(s) may be selected to provide a desired combination of energy and power.

    Abstract: A sulfide-impregnated solid-state battery is provided. The battery comprises a cell core constructed by basic cell units. Each unit comprises a positive electrode comprising a cathode layer and a positive meshed current collector comprising a conductive material which is further coated by oxide-based solid-state electrolyte. The cell unit further comprises a negative electrode comprising an anode layer and a negative meshed current collector comprising a conductive material which is further coated by oxide-based solid-state electrolyte. The positive and negative electrodes are stacked together to form the cell unit. The two coated oxide-based solid electrolyte layers are disposed between the positive and negative electrode as dual separators. Such a cell unit may be repeated or connected in parallel or bipolar stacking to form the cell core to achieve a desired battery voltage, power and energy. The cell core comprises a sulfide-based solid-state electrolyte dispersed in the pore structures of cell core.

    Abstract: The electrical performance and structural integrity of lithium battery electrodes, formed of particles of active electrode materials, are improved by mixing electrically conductive wires (metal wires, carbon fibers, and/or the like, including chemically-reduced metal oxide particles) with the particles of active electrode material. For example, copper wires may be intimately mixed with anode particles in porous anode layers which are resin-bonded to sides of a copper current collector foil. And aluminum wires may be mixed with cathode particles in porous cathode layers resin bonded to an aluminum current collector. The wires may be used to increase both the conductivity of electrons and lithium ions and the flexibility of the electrode layer when the electrodes are infiltrated with a solution of a lithium salt electrolyte. The workable thickness of each electrode layer can thus be increased and its performance enhanced to produce a lower cost and better forming battery.

    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure include systems and methods for manufacturing thermally stable nickel-rich cathodes. An exemplary method can include providing an active material including a plurality of active material particles. The plurality of active material particles include nickel. A nanoparticle slurry additive having a plurality of nanoparticles is provided. The plurality of nanoparticles include one or more of a thermally stable olivine type material, a thermally stable spinel type material, and a thermally stable manganese-nickel dioxide type material. The method includes forming a slurry by mixing the active material and the nanoparticle slurry additive. The plurality of nanoparticles form a thermal inhibitor layer on and in direct contact with a surface of the plurality of active material particles. A free-standing electrode film is formed by calendering the slurry and the free-standing electrode film is laminating to a current collector to define a thermally stable nickel-rich cathode.
