Feb 5, 2001

Appl. No.:

09/777367

Inventors:

Richard W. Pekala - Corvallis OR
Mehrgan Khavari - Corvallis OR

Assignee:

Amtek Research International LLC - Lebanon OR

International Classification:

H01M 216

US Classification:

429249, 429247, 429248, 429250

Abstract:

A freestanding battery separator includes a microporous polymer web with passageways that provide overall fluid permeability. The polymer web preferably contains UHMWPE and a gel-forming polymer material. The structure of or the pattern formed by the gel-forming polymer material and wettability of the UHMWPE polymer web result in a reduction of the time required to achieve uniform electrolyte distribution throughout the lithium-ion battery. In a first embodiment, the gel-forming polymer material is a coating on the UHMWPE web surface. In a second embodiment, the gel-forming polymer material is incorporated into the UHMWPE web while retaining overall fluid permeability. Both embodiments produce hybrid gel electrolyte systems in which gel and liquid electrolyte co-exist.

US Classification:

216 17, 216 27, 216 58, 216 65, 216 67, 21916169

Abstract:

The described embodiments relate to methods and systems for forming slots in a substrate. In one exemplary embodiment, a slot is formed in a substrate that has first and second opposing surfaces. A first trench is dry etched through the first surface of the substrate. A second trench is created through the second surface of the substrate effective to form, in combination with the first trench, a slot. At least a portion of the slot passes entirely through the substrate, and the maximum width of the slot is less than or equal to about 50 of the thickness of the substrate.

International Classification:

B23K026/36

US Classification:

21912169

Abstract:

Methods and systems for forming slots in a substrate that has opposing first and second surfaces. The method makes a laser cut through either the first or second surface of the substrate sufficient to form a first trench. Material is also removed through the other of the first and second surfaces effective to form, in combination with the laser cut, a slot. At least a portion of the slot passes entirely through the substrate, and the slot has an aspect ratio greater than or equal to 1.
