Abstract
This document provides an apparatus including a sintered electrode, a second electrode and a separator material arranged in a capacitive stack. A conductive interconnect couples the sintered electrode and the second electrode. Embodiments include a clip interconnect. In some embodiments, the interconnect includes a comb-shaped connector. In some embodiments, the interconnect includes a wire snaked between adjacent sintered substrates.
Claims13
An apparatus comprising:
- a cathode;
- a separator stacked with the cathode;
- an anode assembly disposed in a stack with the cathode and the separator, the separator disposed between the cathode and the anode assembly,
- wherein the anode assembly includes:
- a first layer including a first sintered material deposited on a first substrate;
- a second layer stacked with the first layer, the second layer including a second sintered material deposited on a second substrate, wherein the first substrate of the first layer and the second substrate of the second layer are facing each other;
- and
- a conductive interconnect located between the first substrate and the second substrate to electrically couple the first layer and the second layer of the anode assembly, and wherein a substrate connection portion of the first substrate and a second substrate connection portion of the second substrate are conformed to the conductive interconnect.
