摘要： Particles of active electrode material for a lithium secondary battery are coated with a precursor material which is either a carbon-based polymer or a metal and oxygen containing compound. The precursor material-coated particles are injected into a gas stream and momentarily exposed to an atmospheric plasma at a predetermined energy level and temperature up to about 3500° C. The plasma treatment converts (i) the carbon polymer to submicron size carbon particles or (ii) the metal compound to metal oxide particles on the surfaces of the particles of electrode material. In preferred embodiments of the invention the plasma treated coated active electrode material particles are carried by the gas stream and deposited onto an electrode material bearing substrate for a lithium battery cell.

摘要： A first atmospheric plasma producing nozzle is used to direct a gas-borne stream of plasma heated and activated particles of lithium battery electrode material for deposition on a surface of lithium cell member, such as a separator or current collector foil. A second atmospheric plasma producing nozzle is used to direct a gas-borne stream of plasma heated and activated metal particles at the same surface area being coated with the stream of electrode material particles. The two plasma streams are combined at the cell member surface to form a layer of electrically-conductive metal-bonded particles of electrode material. The use of multiple atmospheric plasma streams is useful in making thin, efficient, and lower cost electrode structures for lithium batteries.

摘要： Aluminum alloy workpieces and/or magnesium alloy workpieces are joined in a solid state weld by use of a reactive material placed, in a suitable form, at the joining surfaces. Joining surfaces of the workpieces are pressed against the interposed reactive material and heated. The reactive material alloys or reacts with the workpiece surfaces consuming some of the surface material in forming a reaction product comprising a low melting liquid that removes oxide films and other surface impediments to a welded bond across the interface. Further pressure is applied to expel the reaction product and to join the workpiece surfaces in a solid state weld bond.

摘要： Layers of particles of positive or negative electrode materials for lithium-secondary cells are deposited on porous separator layers or current collector films using atmospheric plasma practices for the deposition of the electrode material particles. Before the deposition step, the non-metallic electrode material particles are coated with smaller particles of an elemental metal. The elemental metal is compatible with the particulate electrode material in the operation of the electrode and the metal particles are partially melted during the atmospheric deposition step to bond the electrode material particles to the substrate and to each other in a porous layer for infiltration with a liquid lithium ion-containing electrolyte. And the metal coating on the particles provides suitable electrical conductivity to the electrode layer during cell operation.

摘要： A method is disclosed for making a lithium-ion electrochemical cell comprising elements of the lithium-ion electrochemical cell contained within an aluminum alloy or magnesium alloy single-cell container. External surfaces of the container are coated for resistance to water-based corrosion. Rolled or folded layers of anode, cathode, and separator elements of the lithium-ion cell are placed in the aluminum or magnesium alloy container. And, with the placed elements of the lithium-ion cell in the container, and during one or more following steps of a manufacturing assembly process of the lithium-ion cell, an atmospheric pressure plasma stream, initially comprising hexamethyldisiloxane, is applied to external surfaces of the aluminum alloy or magnesium alloy container to form a silicone polymer coating on the surfaces that protects the container from water-based corrosion. The method is useful in forming batteries for automotive vehicles exposed to salt water environments.

摘要： An atmospheric plasma spray device is used to direct a stream of plasma-heated, particulate, lithium battery electrode materials to form a porous layer of the electrode particles on a surface of a compatible current collector metal foil. Subsequently, a non-plasma spray device is used to direct a stream of droplets of an aqueous solution of a polymeric binder material onto and into the porous layer of electrode particles. Water evaporates from the droplets of binder solution as the droplets infiltrate the porous electrode material and coat the electrode particles and current collector surface. When the water (or other solvent) has evaporated from the dispersed droplets of polymer material, the polymer binder bonds the particles to each other and to the current collector surface. The polymer spray may immediately follow the deposition of the electrode particles, or follow later, even at a downstream spray location.
