Abstract
A lithium and zinc ion bi-polar battery includes, in one example, a plurality of carbon or titanium bi-polar current collectors arranged with cells to form a stack of bi-polar configuration such that each of the bi-polar current collectors is between and in direct contact with a zinc electrode and lithium-ion intercalation electrode of an adjacent pair of the cells.
Claims1
A lithium and zinc ion bi-polar battery comprising:
- a plurality of cells each including a zinc electrode, a lithium-ion intercalation electrode, a separator between the zinc and lithium-ion intercalation electrodes, and a chloride-based, nitrate-based, or triflate-based acidic electrolyte containing zinc and lithium ions facilitating ionic communication between the zinc and lithium-ion intercalation electrodes;
- and
- a plurality of carbon bi-polar current collectors or titanium bi-polar current collectors, but not both, arranged with the cells to form a stack of bi-polar configuration such that each of the bi-polar current collectors is between and in direct contact with the zinc electrode and lithium-ion intercalation electrode of an adjacent pair of the cells.
