Abstract:

The present disclosure relates to an electrical energy storage apparatus. The apparatus has an interpenetrating, three dimensional periodic structure formed from an ionically conductive solid electrolyte material having a plurality of interpenetrating, non-planar channels. The interpenetrating, non-planar channels are made up of a first plurality of channels filled with an anode material, a second plurality of channels adjacent the first plurality of channels and interpenetrating with the first plurality of channels, and filled with a cathode material, and a third plurality of channels adjacent to, and interpenetrating with, one of the first and second pluralities of channels, and filled with a material to form a separator. The first, second and third channels form a spatially dense, three dimensional structure. A first non-flat current collector layer is incorporated which is in communication with the first plurality of channels, and which forms a first electrode. A second non-flat current collector layer is incorporated which is in communication with the second non-planar channel, and which forms a second electrode.

Abstract:

In one embodiment, a composition of matter includes: a plurality of ligaments each independently comprising one or more layers of graphene; where the plurality of ligaments are arranged according to a deterministic three-dimensional (3D) pattern. In another embodiment, a method of forming a deterministic three-dimensional (3D) architecture of graphene includes: forming or providing a substrate structurally characterized by a predefined 3D pattern; forming one or more layers of metal on surfaces of the substrate; and forming one or more layers of graphene on surfaces of the metal.

International Classification:

C23C 18/31
C08K 3/08

Abstract:

According to one embodiment, a three-dimensional structure includes: at least one photopolymer having at least one metal dispersed throughout at least portions of a bulk of the structure. The structure is characterized by features having a horizontal and/or vertical feature resolution in a range from several hundred nanometers to several hundred microns. The portions of the bulk throughout which metal is dispersed may optionally be selectively determined. In more embodiments, the structure may have electroless plated metal formed on surfaces thereof, alternatively or in addition to the metal dispersed throughout the bulk of the structure. The electroless plating may be achieved without the use of a surface activation bath. Corresponding methods for forming various embodiments of such three dimensional structures are also disclosed.

International Classification:

H01M 10/02
H01M 2/16
H01M 10/04

Abstract:

The present disclosure relates to an electrical energy storage apparatus which forms an interpenetrating, three dimensional structure. The structure may have a first non-planar channel filled with an anode material to form an anode, and a second non-planar channel adjacent the first non-planar channel filled with a cathode material to form a cathode. A third non-planar channel may be formed adjacent the first and second non-planar channels and filled with an electrolyte. The first, second and third channels are formed so as to be interpenetrating and form a spatially dense, three dimensional structure. A first current collector is in communication with the first non-planar channel and forms a first electrode, while a second current collector is in communication with the second non-planar channel and forms a second electrode. A separator layers separates the current collectors.

Abstract:

A separator made of ion conductive ink is produced by additive manufacturing. A micro-battery is produced with the separator made of ion conductive ink located between the battery's anode and cathode. The separator functions to keep the anode and cathode apart and to facilitate the transport of ions to produce an operative micro-battery.
