Abstract
Electrochemical cells including components and configurations for electrochemical cells, such as rechargeable lithium batteries, are provided. The electrochemical cells described herein may include a combination of components arranged in certain configurations that work together to increase performance of the electrochemical cell. In some embodiments, such combinations of components and configurations described herein may minimize defects, inefficiencies, or other drawbacks that might otherwise exist inherently in prior electrochemical cells, or that might exist inherently in prior electrochemical cells using the same or similar materials as those described herein, but arranged differently.
Claims22
An electrochemical cell, comprising:
- an anode comprising lithium;
- a cathode active material;
- and
- an electrolyte;
- wherein the ratio of the mass of electrolyte in the electrochemical cell to the mass of cathode active material in the electrochemical cell is less than about 3.75:1.
Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
