First Claim
Patent Images
1. A process for burnishing anode current collectors for electrochemical cells, comprising the steps of:
- a) adding current collectors to a container that contains a burnishing material and a solution comprised of soluble indium ions; and
b) agitating the collectors in the presence of the solution for a time effective to burnish the collectors and for the indium to be distributed on the surface of the collectors.

8. A process for burnishing current collectors for electrochemical cells comprising the steps of:
-
a) adding current collectors to a container that contains a burnishing material; b) agitating the current collectors and burnishing material for a time effective to burnish the collectors; c) separating the burnished collectors from the burnishing material; and d) combining the burnished collectors with a solution comprised of soluble indium ions for a time effective to deposit indium on the surface of the burnished collectors. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
