Intensification of ion exchange in lithium batteries
First Claim
Patent Images
1. In a solid-state lithium battery of the type comprising a lithium composite anode, a polymeric electrolyte, and a cathode, the improvement comprising:
- an anode having a base metal layer,a multiplicity of lithium particles on said base metal layer, a plurality of which are in fused adherent contact with said metal layer and all of which are in electrical and mechanical contact with each other, with spaces therebetween forming an irregular porous layer on said base metal layer for contact with said electrolyte whereby ion exchange therebetween is intensified.

Abstract
The contact area of the anode of lithium batteries with the electrolyte is substantially increased by deposition of minute lithium particles on the anode base layer to form an irregular layer in contact with the electrolyte which reduces the manufacturing cost and increases the contact area which increases the ion exchange between the lithium particles and the electrolyte.
