The present invention provides an aluminum electrolytic capacitor having a cathode, an anode and an improved spacer comprised of polymeric nanofibers. The nanofiber spacer offers low ionic resistance, desirable barrier properties and high electrolyte absorption. The use of the improved spacer results in devices having higher capacitance, lower ESR, less heat generation and improved capacitor manufacturing efficiency.

Alkaline and lithium batteries are disclosed that advantageously include separators comprising at least one porous layer of fine fibers having a diameter of between about 50 nm and about 3000 nm that provide improved combinations of reduced thickness, dendritic barrier against short-circuiting and low ionic resistance as compared with known battery separators.
摘要:
This invention relates to separators for batteries and other electrochemical cells, especially lithium-ion batteries, having a shutdown mechanism. The separator comprises a nonwoven nanoweb comprising a coating composed of a plurality of thermoplastic particles having particle size larger than the mean flow pore size of the nanoweb. The coating flows at a desired temperature, and restricts the ion flow path, resulting in a substantial decrease in ionic conductivity of the separator at the desired shutdown temperature, while leaving the separator intact.

摘要:
A method for preventing or reducing sudden thermal runaway in a battery is disclosed. In this method, a thermoplastic microporous membrane having inert, thermally non-deforming particulate dispersed therein is placed between the electrodes of the battery. Thus, for example, when an external force is applied to the battery, physical contact of the electrodes is prevented by the particulate-filled separator.
摘要:
The invention provides a method for enhancing the properties of polyimide nanowebs, the method comprising subjecting a nanoweb consisting essentially of a plurality of nanofibers of an aromatic polyimide to a temperature at least 50°C higher than the imidization temperature thereof for a period of time in the range of 5 seconds to 20 minutes, thereby preparing an enhanced nanoweb. Also provided is a multi-layer article comprising the enhanced nanoweb, and an electrochemical cell comprising the multi-layer article.
