Abstract
Provided is a separator/anode assembly for use in an electric current producing cell, wherein the assembly comprises an anode current collector layer interposed between a first anode layer and a second anode layer and a porous separator layer on the side of the first anode layer opposite to the anode current collector layer, wherein the first anode layer is coated directly on the separator layer. Also provided are methods of preparing such separator/anode assemblies.
Claims22
A separator/anode assembly for use in an electric current producing cell, wherein said assembly comprises an anode current collector layer interposed between a first anode layer and a second anode layer and a porous separator layer on the side of said first anode layer opposite to said anode current collector layer, and wherein said first anode layer is coated directly on said separator layer.
A separator/anode assembly for use in an electric current producing cell, wherein said separator/anode assembly comprises an anode layer and a porous separator layer on one side of said anode layer, and wherein said anode layer is coated directly on said separator layer.
A method of making a separator/anode assembly for use in an electric current producing cell comprising the steps of:
- (a) providing a porous separator layer;
- (b) coating a first anode layer directly on said separator layer;
- and
- (c) coating one or more anode current collector layers directly on said first anode layer to make said separator/anode assembly.
