Abstract: In at least one embodiment, a battery is provided comprising an anode and cathode, a separator between the anode and cathode, and a shutdown layer between the separator and the anode or cathode. The shutdown layer may include low melting point material and a conductive material within the low melting point material forming a conductive network within the shutdown layer. At a melting point temperature of the low melting point material, the conductive network is reduced such that at least a portion of the shutdown layer is substantially electrically non-conductive. The shutdown layer may be a free-standing layer or may be coated one or both of the electrodes.

Abstract: According to one or more embodiments, a lithium-ion battery includes an anode including titanium niobium oxide (TNO) particles and solid electrolyte particles configured to form an interphase layer therebetween, a cathode including an active material, electronic conductor, and a non-solid electrolyte; and an ionically conductive and liquid-impermeable solid electrolyte separator. The solid electrolyte separator is in direct contact with and between the anode and cathode, and is configured to prevent reduction of the non-solid electrolyte by isolating the non-solid electrolyte from the TNO particles.
