Abstract
An enhanced solid state battery cell is disclosed. The battery cell can include a first electrode, a second electrode, and a solid state electrolyte layer interposed between the first electrode and the second electrode. The battery cell can further include a resistive layer interposed between the first electrode and the second electrode. The resistive layer can be electrically conductive in order to regulate an internal current flow within the battery cell. The internal current flow can result from an internal short circuit formed between the first electrode and the second electrode. The internal short circuit can be formed from the solid state electrolyte layer being penetrated by metal dendrites formed at the first electrode and/or the second electrode.
Claims21
A battery cell, comprising:
- a first electrode;
- a second electrode;
- a solid state electrolyte layer interposed between the first electrode and the second electrode;
- and
- a resistive layer interposed between the first electrode and the second electrode, the resistive layer further being electrically conductive to regulate an internal current flow within the battery cell, the internal current flow resulting from an internal short circuit formed between the first electrode and the second electrode, and the internal short circuit being formed from the solid state electrolyte layer being penetrated by metal dendrites formed at the first electrode and/or the second electrode, and the resistive layer comprising an electrolyte such that the resistive layer is ionically conductive.
