Package for power storage device
11527796 · 2022-12-13 · ·

A package for a power storage device includes at least one laminated packaging material having first and second sections. The packaging material includes a metallic foil layer, a heat-resistant resin layer, and a heat-fusible resin layer. In a state in which the heat-fusible resin layers of the first and second sections are faced, peripheral edges thereof are heat-sealed to form a storage chamber for accommodating a device main body. One of the sections is extended outside the storage chamber to form a conductive flange having an exposed heat-fusible resin layer. The conductive flange is provided with an external conductive section in which the heat-fusible resin layer is partially removed to expose the metallic foil layer. The packaging material having the external conductive section is provided with an internal conductive section in the storage chamber in which the heat-fusible resin layer is partially removed to expose the metallic foil layer.

Hermetic weld for a thin film electrochemical cell activated with a solid electrolyte and housed in a ceramic casing

A miniature electrochemical cell having a total volume that is less than 0.5 cc is described. The cell casing is formed by joining two ceramic casing halves together. One or both casing halves are machined from ceramic to provide a recess that is sized and shaped to contain the electrode assembly. The opposite polarity terminals are metal feedthroughs, such as of gold, and are formed by brazing gold into openings machined into one or both of ceramic casing halves. A thin film metallization, such as of titanium, contacts an edge periphery of each ceramic casing half. The first ceramic casing half is moved into registry with the second ceramic casing half so that the first and second ring-shaped metallizations contact each other. Then, a laser welds through one of the casing halves being a substantially transparent ceramic, for example sapphire, to braze the first and second ring-shaped metallizations to each other to thereby join the first and second casing halves together to form a casing housing the electrode assembly. A solid electrolyte (Li.sub.xPO.sub.yN.sub.z) activates the electrode assembly.
