Abstract
The present disclosure relates to battery plates which are useful in optimizing the power and energy density of a batter assembly by having discrete active materials. The present disclosure relates to a battery plate having: a) a substrate having a first surface opposing a second surface; b) one or more active materials disposed on the first surface, second surface, or both the first surface and the second surface of the substrate; and wherein the one or more active materials include two or more discrete active material regions.
Claims20
A battery plate comprising:
- a) a substrate having a first surface opposing a second surface, wherein the substrate comprises a non-conductive polymer;
- b) two or more active materials disposed on the first surface or the second surface of the substrate;
- wherein the two or more active materials disposed on the first surface or the second surface form two or more discrete active material regions;
- wherein the two or more discrete active material regions are deposited adjacent to one another in a plane which is parallel to the first surface or the second surface of the substrate;
- wherein at least one of the two or more discrete active material regions includes a first lead oxide;
- wherein at least another of the two or more discrete active material regions includes a second lead oxide different from the first lead oxide;
- wherein the battery plate is free of a grid upon which the two or more active materials are disposed on;
- wherein the two or more discrete active material regions are directly adjacent to one another such that the first lead oxide is adjacent to and in contact with the second lead oxide;
- and
- wherein the battery plate is a monopolar plate, a bipolar plate, a dual polar plate, or a combination thereof.
