Embodiment 1

[0027] Embodiment 1: preparation zinc-containing plate

[0028] UHMWPE (1900 HCM; Montell Polyolefin, 2.1 g) was added to zinc powder (particle size TM 3681 Process Oil (Shell Oil Co., 9.2 g). The oily mixture was stirred until a free flowing state was obtained, then the mixture was placed in a HAAKE Rheomix 600 small intensive mixer equipped with roller blades and driven by a HAAKE Rheocord 90 torque Rheometer, rotating at 80 RPM and set at 180 ℃. Additional process oil (8.0 g) was added to the mixing chamber. The resulting mixture was mixed for 5 minutes to obtain a homogeneous cohesive mass. This material was transferred to a C.W. Brabender PrepMill Model PM-300, two roll mill, rotating at 15 rpm and set at 150°C. The roll gap was adjusted to about 0.7 mm and the resulting polymer sheet was removed from the roll with a take-off knife.

[0029] The plate was cooled to room temperature and then a 40 mm x 60 mm sample was cut from the plate with a doctor blade...

Embodiment 2

[0038] Embodiment 2: Preparation of nickel-containing plate

[0039] UHMWPE (1900 HCM; Montell Polyolefin, 2.64 g) was added to nickel powder (3 μm particle size; Aldrich Chemical Co., 56.0 g) placed in a 250 ml plastic beaker. Mix the powder with a spatula until a homogeneous mixture is formed, at which point ShellFlex TM 3681 Process Oil (Shell Oil Co., 12.0 g). The oily mixture was stirred until a free flowing state was obtained, then the mixture was placed in a HAAKE Rheomix 600 small intensive mixer with roller blades driven by a HAAKE Rheocord 90 torque Rheometer, rotating at 80 RPM and set at 180 ℃. Additional process oil (8.0 g) was added to the mixing chamber. The resulting mixture was mixed for 5 minutes to obtain a homogeneous cohesive mass. This material was transferred to a C.W. Brabender Prep-Mill Model PM-300, two roll mill, rotating at 15 rpm and set at 150°C. The roll gap was adjusted to about 0.4 mm and the resulting polymer sheet was r...

[0042] Embodiment 3: prepare graphite-containing plate

[0043] UHMWPE (1900 HCM; Montell polyolefin, 10.0 g) and conductive carbon black (Super P; MMM carbon, 5.0 g) were added to graphite powder (BG-35; Superior Graphite Co., 85.0 g) placed in a 250 ml plastic beaker. g). The powder is mixed using a spatula until a homogeneous mixture is formed, at which point ShellFlex TM 3681 Process Oil (Shell Oil Co., 20.0 g). The oily mixture was stirred until a free flowing state was obtained, then the mixture was placed in a HAAKE Rheomix 600 small intensive mixer equipped with roller blades and driven by a HAAKERheocord 90 torque Rheometer, rotating at 80 RPM and set at 180°C. Additional process oil (80.0 g) was added to the mixing chamber. The resulting mixture was mixed for 5 minutes to obtain a homogeneous cohesive mass. This material was transferred to a C.W. Brabender Prep-Mill Model PM-300, two roll mill, rotating at 15 rpm and set at 150°C. The roll gap was...

Abstract

A freestanding, microporous polymer sheet (52, 56) is composed of a polymer matrix binding an electrically conductive matrix. The polymer matrix preferably includes UHMWPE, and the electrically conductive matrix is preferably in powder form. The UHMWPE is of a molecular weight that provides sufficient molecular chain entanglement to form a sheet with freestanding characteristics. Multiple microporous sheets (30) can be wound or stacked in a package filled with an electrolyte to function as electrodes in an energy storage device (86), such as a battery. Metallic layers (81, 83) can be applied to the microporous sheets to function as current collectors in such devices.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the formation of electrically conductive free-standing microporous polymer sheets, and more particularly to sheets for use in the manufacture of energy storage devices and other suitable devices. Background of the invention [0002] The following background information is given with reference to the example of electrode fabrication for use in energy storage devices. A detailed description of the construction details of the energy storage device of the present invention is in David Linden (Editor-in-Chief), Handbook of Batteries (Handbook of Batteries), 2 nd ed., McGraw-Hill, Inc. (1995). Electrode preparation for many energy storage devices begins by forming a slurry containing the electrochemically active material in powder form, the fluoropolymer, and the solvent. The slurry is coated onto a metal foil that acts as a current collector. The metal foil coated with the electrochemically active material is then passed...
