    Abstract: A solid-state battery cell, such as a lithium-ion cell, is assembled with a solid electrolyte layer member positioned between co-extensive surface layers of an anode active layer member and a cathode active material layer member. At least one of the engaging surfaces of the solid electrolyte layer is not flat. It is formed with a topographical pattern comprising recesses in a flat surface, or a surface of projections and recesses, and placed against a compatibly-shaped, mating surface of the anode layer and/or the cathode layer. The re-shaping of the surface(s) of the solid electrolyte layer and adjoining electrode layer(s) is to significantly increase the effective contact area with the facing layer of electrode material and improve the conduction of ions across the interface. A thin film of interlayer material may be placed between the surfaces of the facing cell members with the specially shaped adjacent faces.

    Abstract: An anode electrode with enhanced state of charge estimation is provided. The anode electrode comprises anode layer and a negative current collector. The negative current collector has a first side and a second side. The anode layer comprises lithium-titanium oxide and a second anode material (e.g. niobium-titanium oxide) disposed on at least one of the first and second sides of the negative current collector with single-layer or layer-by-layer coated structures. The second anode material (e.g. niobium-titanium oxide) can be physically blended with lithium-titanium oxide or be at least partially coated on the surface of lithium-titanium oxide or their combinations. The anode electrode further comprises a binder and a conductive carbon.

    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: An electrolyte for use in an electrochemical cell. The electrolyte includes a first layer having a thickness of about 1 μm to about 40 μm and a second layer having a thickness of about 5 μm to about 60 μm. The first layer includes, based on a total weight of the first layer, about 10 wt. % to about 40 wt. % of first solid-state electrolyte particles, about 1 wt. % to about 15 wt. % of lithium, and about 1 wt. % to about 65 wt. % of fibrils including carbon and fluorine, The second layer includes second solid-state electrolyte particles.
