摘要: Improvements in the structural components and physical characteristics of lithium battery articles are provided. Standard lithium ion batteries, for example, are prone to certain phenomena related to short circuiting and have experienced high temperature occurrences and ultimate firing as a result. Structural concerns with battery components have been found to contribute to such problems. Improvements provided herein include the utilization of thin metallized current collectors (aluminum and/or copper, as examples), high shrinkage rate materials, materials that become nonconductive upon exposure to high temperatures, and combinations thereof. Such improvements accord the ability to withstand certain imperfections (dendrites, unexpected electrical surges, etc.) within the target lithium battery through provision of ostensibly an internal fuse within the subject lithium batteries themselves that prevents undesirable high temperature results from short circuits. Battery articles and methods of use thereof including such improvements are also encompassed within this disclosure.

摘要: The present disclosure relates to separators for lithium-ion batteries that exhibit hydrofluoric acid scavenging characteristics subsequent to treatment with certain types and amounts of caustic formulations. Such a basic treatment creates surface complexes with counterions that react with HF to capture dissociated fluorine ions thereby reducing the amount of potentially damaging acid within the subject battery during utilization thereof. Such a surface counterion-fluorine complex on the separator exhibits low propensity to dissociate thereafter, thus reducing the presence of oxidative/acidic fluorine ions and prolonging battery cell life through increased charging levels.

摘要: A lithium battery cell with an internal fuse component and including needed tabs which allow for conductance from the internal portion thereof externally to power a subject device is provided. Disclosed herein are tabs that exhibit sufficient safety levels in combination with the internal fuse characteristics noted above while simultaneously displaying pull strength to remain in place during utilization as well as complete coverage with the thin film metallized current collectors for such an electrical conductivity result. Such tabs are further provided with effective welds for the necessary contacts and at levels that exhibit surprising levels of amperage and temperature resistance to achieve the basic internal fuse result with the aforementioned sufficient conductance to an external device. With such a tab lead component and welded structure, a further improvement within the lithium battery art is provided the industry.

摘要: A constrained, wound lithium-ion battery cell with an internal fuse component that exhibits significant improvements in terms of life-cycle times is provided. Disclosed herein are lithium-ion battery structures and configurations utilizing at least one thin metallized film current collector that provides safety features with low thermal runaway potential, low internal resistance, with a simplified manner of providing external electrical conductivity simultaneously. The provision of a highly constrained and wound structure thereof unexpectedly allows for extended charge/discharge cycle life that is significantly improved in comparison with previous wound lithium-ion battery devices. A range of shear and compression forces accords such results, with such forces permissible through various pathways, including winding curvatures, number of windings within the cell housing, hardness of housing, and structural geometries therein. Encompassed herein is also a method of providing long cycle life results for such specific devices.
