A method for producing a composite electrode for a lithium or lithium-ion battery comprises: providing a current collector having a main surface; forming a first electrode layer on the main surface of the current collector, wherein a first adhesion is formed between the current collector and the first electrode layer along the main surface; forming a second electrode layer on the first electrode layer, wherein the first and second electrode layer contact each other along a contact surface opposite the main surface of the current collector, the second electrode layer is adhesively connected to the first electrode layer along the contact surface; and compressing the first and second electrode layer by means of a compression device, wherein, during the compressing, a pressure element of the compression device exerts a pressure on at least one part of the surface of the second electrode layer opposite the contact surface, and a second adhesion can form between the pressure element and the part of the second electrode layer on which the pressure is exerted, wherein the ratio between the first adhesion and the second adhesion resulting from the compression is greater than one.

Composite electrode for a lithium or lithium-ion battery and production method therefor

A method for producing a lithium-ion cell is provided. The electrochemically active coating of an electrode is brought into contact with an electrolyte or an auxiliary liquid before a winding or cutting operation. This method is suitable in particular for continuously producing lithium-ion cells by means of processes proceeding at high speed, such as winding processes.

Method for producing a lithium-ion cell

A lithium-air battery is provided, which includes a cathode having a gas diffusion layer containing a solid electronically conductive material coated with carbon black, the gas diffusion layer being at least partially filled with gaseous air, a separator having an electronically nonconducting filter material arranged between the anode and the cathode, the filter material being at least partially impregnated with a liquid electrolyte, and an anode containing a material selected from lithium metal, material alloyable with lithium, metal oxide, and mixtures thereof. Methods for making such battery and the use of such battery in a motor vehicle are also provided.

Low-polarization lithium oxygen battery

A method for applying a rupture element to a housing part of a battery cell, more particularly to a housing part provided for sealing a battery cell, includes the following steps: providing the housing part, wherein the housing part has an inner side facing the interior of the battery cell and an outer side facing the exterior of the battery cell. A hole is provided in the housing part, through which in the event of a malfunction, in which pressure in the battery cell reaches an inadmissably high level, pressure can escape into the surrounding area. A plate-shaped rupture element is provided, which is at least slightly larger than the hole. The plate-shaped rupture element is applied to the hole from the outer side such that it fully covers the hole and an edge region of the plate-shaped rupture element is joined all around to an edge region of the housing part, which extends around the hole, such that the plate-shaped rupture element fluidically seals the hole.
