A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11888155B1) discloses a novel cathode design for lithium secondary batteries. The cathode comprises a cathode current collector and a cathode active material layer with multiple active material layers containing different types of cathode active material particles. The closest active material layer to the current collector has a specific diameter attribute (DA) of 0.5 µm or less, determined by analyzing the distribution of particles in a 3D model. Additionally, the patent outlines equations and ranges for the DA values of neighboring active material layers, emphasizing the importance of particle size and distribution for optimal battery performance.
Furthermore, the patent details the composition and characteristics of the cathode active material layers, including specific DA and length attributes, particle shapes, average particle diameters, content percentages, and density ranges. The cathode design aims to enhance battery efficiency and performance by carefully controlling the properties of the active material layers. The patent also extends to the application of the cathode in a lithium secondary battery setup, along with an anode component. Overall, the innovative cathode design described in the patent offers a structured approach to optimizing lithium secondary battery performance through precise control of active material properties and layer configurations.
