BATTERY SYSTEM

摘要

Battery systems, and methods for manufacturing the same, are disclosed. The battery system may include one or more layers of anode, cathode, and electrolyte. The electrolyte may be solid, dense, and thin. The electrolyte may be configured in a non-planar geometry, such as a concentric cylindrical geometry or a helical geometry. A sealant may be applied to a housing enclosing the anode, cathode, and a portion of the electrolyte such that electrode-to-electrode contact is prevented. The method of manufacturing a battery system may include sonicating materials forming the electrolyte and curing the materials in layers. The anode and cathode materials are applied to the electrolyte and are enclosed in the housing. The sealant is applied such that contact is prohibited between the anode and the cathode.

主权项

1. A battery, comprising:
an anode, at least a portion of the anode being liquid, the anode having a first thickness; a cathode, at least a portion of the cathode being liquid, the cathode having a second thickness; an electrolyte, the electrolyte being solid and having a density of at least 95%, the electrolyte having a third thickness, the third thickness being at least one-tenth of at least one of the first thickness or the second thickness; and a housing enclosing the anode, the cathode, and at least a portion of the electrolyte.
