Gel electrolyte bonded rechargeable electrochemical cell and method of making same

摘要

An electrochemical cell 10 includes first and second electrodes 12 and 14 with an electrolyte system 26 disposed therebetween. The electrolyte system includes at least a first and second layer 28 and 30, the second layer 30 being used to absorb an electrolyte active species and to adhere the adjacent layer of electrode material to the electrolyte system 26. The electrolyte system further includes a process for packaging and curing the electrolyte after it has been incorporated into a discrete battery device.
