摘要： A battery system includes a main electrochemical cell that includes a cathode and an anode, a cathode tab electrically coupled to the cathode, and an anode tab electrically coupled to the anode. A second electrochemical cell is electrically coupled to the cathode tab and the anode tab. An interrupt device, such as a bi-stable metal disc, is operably coupled to the second electrochemical cell and at least one of the cathode tab or the anode tab. Upon overcharging of the main electrochemical cell, the voltage between the cathode tab and the anode tab causes the second electrochemical cell to generate gases that triggers the interrupt device, which in turn disconnects at least one of the cathode tab or the anode tab, thereby protecting the main electrochemical cell from further damages.

摘要： An energy storage device includes a positive electrode current collector, a negative electrode current collector and a separator disposed between the positive electrode current collector and the negative electrode current collector. The separator is spaced from the positive electrode current collector, thereby at least partially defining a positive electroactive zone, and the separator may be spaced from the negative electrode current collector, thereby at least partially defining a negative electroactive zone. The energy storage device includes a semi-solid electrode with a thickness in the range of about 200 μm to about 2,000 μm, located in the positive electroactive zone and/or the negative electroactive zone. The semi-solid electrode may also include a suspension of an ion-storing solid phase material in a non-aqueous liquid electrolyte.

摘要： Embodiments described herein relate generally to electrochemical cells having pre-lithiated semi-solid electrodes, and particularly to semi-solid electrodes that are pre-lithiated during the mixing of the semi-solid electrode slurry such that a solid-electrolyte interface (SEI) layer is formed in the semi-solid electrode before the electrochemical cell formation. In some embodiments, a semi-solid electrode includes about 20% to about 90% by volume of an active material, about 0% to about 25% by volume of a conductive material, about 10% to about 70% by volume of a liquid electrolyte, and lithium (as lithium metal, a lithium-containing material, and/or a lithium metal equivalent) in an amount sufficient to substantially pre-lithiate the active material. The lithium metal is configured to form a solid-electrolyte interface (SEI) layer on a surface of the active material before an initial charging cycle of an electrochemical cell that includes the semi-solid electrode.

摘要： Embodiments described herein relate generally to electrodes for electrochemical cells, the electrodes including an electrode material disposed on a current collector. In some embodiments, an electrode includes an edge protection barrier member on a perimeter of a surface of the current collector. The barrier member forms a wall along the main edge(s) of the current collector, defining an inner region bounded by the barrier member and the top surface of the current collector, and the electrode material occupies the inner region.
