A capacitor case sealed to retain electrolyte; a sintered anode disposed in the capacitor case, the sintered anode having a shape wherein the sintered anode includes a mating portion; a conductor coupled to the sintered anode, the conductor sealingly extending through the capacitor case to a terminal disposed on an exterior of the capacitor case; a sintered cathode disposed in the capacitor case, the sintered cathode having a shape that mates with the mating portion of the sintered anode such that the sintered cathode matingly fits in the mating portion of the sintered anode; a separator between the sintered anode and the sintered cathode; and a second terminal disposed on the exterior of the capacitor case and in electrical communication with the sintered cathode, with the terminal and the second terminal electrically isolated from one another.

Sintered electrodes for a capacitor

Sintered electrodes for capacitor anodes, cathodes, anode systems, and cathode systems

An example includes a capacitor case sealed to retain electrolyte, at least one anode disposed in the capacitor case, the at least one anode comprising a sintered portion disposed on a substrate, an anode conductor coupled to the substrate in electrical communication with the sintered portion, the anode conductor sealingly extending through the capacitor case to an anode terminal disposed on the exterior of the capacitor case with the anode terminal in electrical communication with the sintered portion, a cathode disposed in the capacitor case, a separator disposed between the cathode and the anode and a cathode terminal disposed on an exterior of the capacitor case and in electrical communication with the cathode, with the anode terminal and the cathode terminal electrically isolated from one another.

Sintered electrodes to store energy in an implantable medical device

This document discusses capacitive elements including a first, second and third electrode arranged in a stack. The third electrode is positioned between the first and second electrode. An interconnect includes a unitary substrate shared with the first and second electrodes. The interconnect is adapted to deform to accommodate the stacked nature of the first and second electrodes. The unitary substrate includes a sintered material disposed thereon.

Sintered capacitor electrode including a folded connection

One example includes a plurality of substantially planar electrodes disposed in a stack, in alignment, the stack being at least partially disk-shaped with a first major face opposing a second major face, with an edge extending between the first major face and the second major face, a pocket, with a covered portion of the stack disposed in the pocket, the pocket shaped to conform to the stack with a first portion of the pocket covering a first segment of the first major face, a second portion covering a second segment of the second major face opposite the first segment, and an edge portion covering the edge of the stack, wherein a remaining portion of the stack extends out of the pocket and a film disposed over the remaining portion of the stack, substantially covering the remaining portion.
