Patent ID: 8440355

Claim:
An equalizing electrode plate structure, comprising: an electrode plate used as a positive pole or as a negative pole; an electrochemically active substance ( 103 ) coated on the electrode plate; at least one input/output terminal disposed on at least one side of the electrode plate for outputting and/or inputting electric energy to the electrode plate; an insulated split-flow conductive structure ( 104 ) including a part of a conductive body ( 1045 ) and an insulator ( 1046 ), the insulated split-flow conductive structure ( 104 ) having a first end connected to the input/output terminal ( 102 ) and a second end connected to the electrode plate at a location away from the electric energy input/output terminal, wherein the insulator surrounds a part of the conductive structure ( 104 ) extending from the first end of the conductive structure to the second end of the conductive structure, and wherein at least one side of the first end and at least one side of the second end of the conductive structure are uncovered by the insulator to permit electrical connection of the first and second ends of the part of the conductive body included in said insulated split-flow conductive structure ( 104 ), said insulated split flow conductive structure ( 104 ) thereby providing a current path directly from said input/output terminal ( 102 ) to the location of the electrode plate that is away from the input/output terminal ( 102 ); and wherein electrical energy is transmitted between an area of the electrode plate having a current path farther away from the input/output terminal or an area of the electrode plate are with larger impedance and the input/output terminal, and the conductive body and the electrochemical active substance have a more uniform current density than a plate not having the insulated split-flow conductive structure when outputting and/or inputting electrical energy for transforming electrical energy to chemical energy or chemical energy to electrical energy.
