Patent ID: 10896786

Abstract:
The present invention provides a process for fabricating an n-cell supercapacitor stack, including a step of providing at least n+1 identical, or substantially identical, electrically inert conductive sheets having a defined perimeter, n identical, or substantially identical, ion-permeable insulating sheets having a defined perimeter, n identical, or substantially identical, first electrodes having a defined perimeter, n identical, or substantially identical, second electrodes having a defined perimeter, and at least n matching dielectric frames having an outer perimeter, which is larger than the perimeter of the conductive sheet and the perimeter of the insulating sheet; a step of assembling the supercapacitor stack, a step of disposing an additional conductive sheet on top of the nth second electrode; and a step of attaching adjacent units onto one another, such that at least one of the frames within each unit is attached to at least one of the frames within each respective unit adjacent thereto. Further provided is a sealing system for use in fabricating a supercapacitor stack, which includes matching current collectors and separators having externally extending framing structures.
