A lithium secondary battery, includes: a cylindrical battery case (16) provided with electrode caps at both end portions thereof; an electrode body (1) impregnated with a nonaqueous electrolyte solution and contained in the battery case and including a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and a separator, the positive electrode and the negative electrode being wound or laminated through the separator; and moreover, an elastic body (23) disposed between the battery case (16) and the electrode caps with portions in which the battery case (16) contacts the elastic body (23) being brought into press-contact to form a caulked portion to seal the battery case (16). With Rbody (mm) being diameter of a body part of the battery case (16), Rtop (mm) being diameter of the caulked portion, Rbody and Rtop fulfill relationship of Rbody>Rtop. Improvement in long period stability and reliability can be planned by intensifying the caulking between the battery case and the electrode cap and by removing the caulked gap between the battery case and the electrode cap so as to suppress leakage of the electrolyte solution.

The present invention improves the performance of lithium electrochemical cells by providing a new electrode assembly based on a sandwich cathode design, but termed a double screen sandwich cathode electrode design. In particular, the present invention uses sandwich cathode electrodes which are, in turn, sandwiched between two half double screen sandwich cathode electrodes, either in a prismatic plate or serpentine-like electrode assembly. In a jellyroll electrode assembly, the cell is provided in a case-positive design and the outside round of the electrode assembly is a half double screen sandwich cathode electrode.

The present invention discloses porous fuel cell electrode structures, assemblies, and systems having one or more conformal metallic layers selectively deposited on one or more pore surfaces, as well as to various methods relating thereto. In one embodiment, the present invention is directed to an electrode structure adapted for use with a fuel cell system (e.g., a hydrogen or a direct hydrocarbon fuel cell system), wherein the electrode structure comprises a substrate or support structure having one or more discrete porous bulk matrix regions disposed across a top surface of the substrate. In this embodiment, each of the one or more discrete porous bulk matrix regions is defined by a plurality of acicular pores that extend through the substrate or support structure. The plurality of acicular pores define inner pore surfaces, and the inner pore surfaces have a conformal electrically conductive layer thereon, as well as a plurality of catalyst particles.

A gas generation system includes a reservoir for a reactant used in a gas generation, a compressor configured to pressurize the reactant in the reservoir using an operating medium delivered into the reservoir, a gas generation component fed with the reactant using a reactant feed line, and a metering element disposed in the reactant feed line between the reservoir and the gas generation component. In addition, a method for operating a gas generation system that includes compressing an operating medium, delivering at least a first portion of the compressed operating medium to a reservoir so as to pressurize a reactant in the reservoir, controlling the delivery of the compressed operating medium so as to maintain a pressure in the reservoir at a level corresponding to a pressure of the reactant downstream from the reservoir, metering the reactant in a feed line between the reservoir and a gas generation component, and delivering the reactant to the gas generation component.
摘要:
Disclosed are various types of metal-air FCB-based systems comprising a Metal-Fuel Transport Subsystem, a Metal-Fuel Discharging Subsystem, and a Metal-Fuel Recharging Subsystem. The function of the Metal-Fuel Transport Subsystem is to transport metal-fuel material, in the form of tape, cards, sheets, cylinders and the like, to the Metal-Fuel Discharge Subsystem, or the Metal-Fuel Recharge Subsystem, depending on the mode of the system selected. When transported to or through the Metal-Fuel Discharge Subsystem, the metal-fuel is discharged by (i.e. electro-chemically reaction with) one or more discharging heads in order produce electrical power across an electrical load connected to the subsystem while H2O and O2 are consumed at the cathode-electrolyte interface during the electro-chemical reaction. When transported to or through the Metal-Fuel Recharging Subsystem, discharged metal-fuel is recharged by one or more recharging heads in order to convert the oxidized metal-fuel material into its source metal material suitable for reuse in power discharging operations, while O2 is released at the cathode-electrolyte interface during the electro-chemical reaction. In the illustrative embodiments, various forms of metal fuel can be discharged and recharged in an efficient manner to satisfy a broad range of electrical loading conditions.

A battery capable of improving battery characteristics such as cycle characteristics is provided. The battery includes a spirally wound electrode body including a cathode and an anode spirally wound with a separator in between. The capacity of the anode includes a capacity component by insertion and extraction of light metal and a capacity component by precipitation and dissolution of the light metal, and is represented by the sum of them. The separator is impregnated with an electrolyte solution formed through dissolving a lithium salt in a solvent. As the electrolyte salt, difluoronulloxalato-O,Onullnulllithium borate, tetrafluoronulloxalato-O,Onullnulllithium phosphate or difluorobisnulloxalato-O,Onullnulllithium phosphate is used. By the formation of a stable coating, decomposition of the solvent and a reaction between precipitated lithium metal and the solvent can be prevented.
