A Sodium Ion Battery
Patent No. 570634
This patent focuses on improving the power density of sodium-ion batteries through strategic optimization of electrode thickness. By combining both thick and thin electrode regions within the same cell, the design balances energy storage capacity with rapid charge and discharge capability. Thicker sections enable higher energy storage, while thinner regions reduce ion transport resistance and allow faster kinetics. This approach addresses the traditional tradeoff between energy and power, resulting in sodium-ion cells with improved performance across a wide range of applications.
