Abstract
In various embodiments, an energy storage may have: an anode and a cathode, said anode having: a foil comprising or formed from a first metal, where the first metal of the foil is one of aluminum, tin, germanium, magnesium, lead, zinc, antimony and lithium; an active anode material having a first electrochemical potential; a protection material with which the foil has been coated, where the protection material comprises a second metal other than the first metal; said cathode having: an active cathode material having a second electrochemical potential different than the first chemical potential, wherein the active anode material or the active cathode material comprises lithium.
Claims14
An energy storage having:
- an anode and a cathode,
- said anode having:
- a foil including a first metal, where the first metal of the foil is one of aluminum, tin, germanium, magnesium, lead, zinc, antimony and lithium;
- an active anode material having a first electrochemical potential;
- a protection material with which the foil has been coated, where the protection material comprises a second metal other than the first metal;
- said cathode having:
- an active cathode material having a second electrochemical potential different than the first chemical potential;
- wherein the active anode material or the active cathode material comprises lithium.
A bipolar electrode arrangement having:
- a foil comprising a first metal, where the first metal of the foil is one of aluminum, tin, germanium, magnesium, lead, zinc, antimony and lithium;
- an active anode material and an active cathode material, wherein the foil is disposed between the active anode material and the active cathode material;
- a protection material with which the foil has been coated on at least one surface facing the active anode material;
- wherein the foil together with the active cathode material provides a cathode, and together with the active anode material provides an anode.
A method, said method comprising:
- providing a foil comprising a first metal, where the first metal of the foil is one of aluminum, tin, germanium, magnesium, lead, zinc, antimony or lithium, and which has been coated with a protection material, where the protection material comprises a second metal other than the first metal;
- coating the foil on at least one side of the foil on which the protection material is disposed with an active anode material for provision of an anode.
