摘要:
An electrochemical cell battery having current collecting terminals acting as security device. The current collecting terminals utilize layers of PTC materials strategically positioned whereby if a temperature of an electrochemical cell rises above the transition temperature of the layer of PTC material, electrical current is prevented to flow between electrochemical cells by the layer of PTC material.

An electrochemical cell battery is disclosed having current collecting terminals acting as security device. The battery includes a plurality of electrochemical cells connected in series or parallel; each electrochemical cell having a current collecting terminal connecting the positive current collectors together and a current collecting terminal connecting the negative current collectors together; the current collecting terminals each having a folded extension arm for electrically connecting two adjacent electrochemical cells together. The current collecting terminals utilize layers of PTC materials strategically positioned whereby if a temperature of an electrochemical cell rises above the transition temperature of the layer of PTC material, electrical current is prevented to flow between electrochemical cells by the layer of PTC material.

摘要:
An electrochemical cell battery is disclosed having current collecting terminals acting as security device. The battery includes a plurality of electrochemical cells connected in series or parallel. Each electrochemical cell has a current collecting terminal connecting the positive current collectors together and a current collecting terminal connecting the negative current collectors together. The current collecting terminals each have a folded extension arm for electrically connecting two adjacent electrochemical cells together. The folded extension arms have a shape memory characteristic and are electrically connected together via a welding metal having a fusion temperature Tf of less than 180° C. whereby if a temperature of an electrochemical cells rises above the fusion temperature Tf of the welding metal, the welded connection melts and the folded extension arms of the current collecting terminals spring back to their initial shape thereby severing the electrical connection between the electrochemical cells.
摘要:
Metallization under vacuum, on at least one face of a plastic film so as to give a substrate including a metallic surface, which substrate is sufficiently electrically conductive to permit a uniform electrochemical deposit. The latter is carried out by electrochemical plating, of at least one metal, on the metallized surface starting from an electrolytic solution, so as to give a thin metallic film having a metal thickness between 0.1 and 4 microns. The metallized substrate is selected so as to be compatible and to facilitate the step of electrochemical plating. The thin metallic sheet obtained is adherent to and supported by the plastic film. The metallic sheet may be used as current collectors for polymer electrolyte lithium batteries, as multi-layer film used as wrapping material permeable to gases and humidity, as a screen for light, flexible conductors, etc.
