ELECTROCHEMICAL CELLS INCLUDING A CONDUCTIVE MATRIX

摘要

An electrochemical cell (100) includes an outer housing (102), a separator (112) for separating an anode material (110) from a cathode material (106), wherein the separator (112) is disposed in the outer housing. The electrochemical cell (100) also includes a conductive thin sheet (126) disposed around an outer circumference of the separator (112), wherein the conductive thin sheet (126) is disposed such that it allows passage of the anode material (110) between the separator (112) and the conductive thin sheet (126). The electrochemical cell (100) further includes a conductive matrix (124) disposed between, and in contact with, the conductive thin sheet (126) and the outer housing (102).
