The principle of operation of a bipolar battery is quite simple—in theory. One cell’s negative electrode and another cell’s positive electrode are located very close to each other (back-to-back). The cathode and anode are both coated on the substrate. The substrate with electrodes acts as a seal for the adjacently placed cells.
In the case of BEs, the bipolar batteries have a simplified cell configuration and shape because of no use of electric connectors and other accessories. The stacking thickness of all unit cells and the substrate area of a unit cell is used to calculate battery volume. The battery weight is close to the mass sum of all the components.
The term “bipolar battery” refers to the presence of bipolar electrodes inside a battery module. Theoretically, this technology may be applied to batteries with different chemistries. In reality, among all the various bipolar batteries, only lead-acid battery modules have reached the commercial production stage.
There is a distinctive stack configuration of rechargeable batteries, referred to as bipolar electrodes (BEs), that ultimately simplifies the components of rechargeable batteries. A schematic illustration of BEs is displayed in Figure 1c. The cathode and anode slurries are separately coated on both sides of the substrate.
