Abstract: A working roller for a rolling mill for laminating a sheet of alkali metal or alloy thereof into a film is disclosed. The working roller has a cylindrical center portion defining a central axis, the center portion having an outer surface defining a lamination surface; and first and second frustoconical portions extending from first and second ends of the center portion respectively. When the central axis is straight, an angle between the outer surface of the center portion and an outer surface of each of the first and second frustoconical portions is less than 0.05 degrees. A width of the center portion is greater than a width of each of the first and second frustoconical portions. The width of the center portion is less than a sum of the widths of the first and second portions. A rolling mill having two such working rollers is also disclosed.

Abstract: The present technology relates to methods for the synthesis of a lithium single-ion monomer which comprises simultaneously reacting a sulfonyl chloride compound with i) a fluorinated sulfonamide compound and ii) a compound that is suitable to act as a quenching base and a lithium cation source. The simultaneous reaction of sulfonyl chloride with the fluorinated sulfonamide compound and the compound that is suitable to act as a quenching base and a lithium cation source yields the single-ion monomer.

Abstract: A lamination lubricant dispensing unit for lubricating a working roller of a rolling mill for laminating a sheet of alkali metal or alloy thereof into a film. The lubricant dispensing unit has a dispensing unit body defining a laterally extending wall; first and second side walls extending forwardly from the laterally extending wall; and a ledge connected to lower ends of the walls. The ledge extends forwardly from the laterally extending wall and extending between the side walls. The ledge and the walls define a recess having an opened side. The ledge has a front edge for abutting a lamination surface of the working roller. At least a portion of the ledge is an angled portion extending upward and rearward from the front edge toward the laterally extending wall. The dispensing unit body defines at least one lubricant passage having an outlet defined in the laterally extending wall.
