Abstract:
1. A method of manufacturing an electrochemical cell structure comprising the steps of: a) spacing a first conductive member relative to a second conductive member; b) arranging an adhesive between the first conductive member and the second conductive member, the adhesive having a solid state and a liquid state; and c) liquefying the adhesive to secure the first conductive member to the second conductive member d) defining a first plurality of volumes to receive the adhesive in the liquid state on the first conductive member between a first plurality of ridges; and e) defining a second plurality of ridges on the second conductive member and placing the second plurality of ridges within corresponding ones of the first plurality of volumes defined by the first plurality of ridges, wherein each of the first plurality of volumes defined by the first plurality of ridges is sufficiently larger than the corresponding one of the second plurality of ridges to accommodate the adhesive in the liquid state and the corresponding one of the second plurality of ridges.
