MUMBAI, India, Aug. 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202517067842 A) filed by 24M Technologies, Inc., Cambridge, U.S.A., on July 16, for 'systems and methods for minimizing and preventing dendrite formation in electrochemical cells.'

Inventor(s) include Chen, Junzheng; Ota, Naoki; Hartzog, Chad Alan; Brouwer, Michelle Robyn; Liu, Xiaoming; D'Angelo, Anthony; Salazar, Daniel; Hans, Timothy Allen; and Song, Junhua.

The application for the patent was published on Aug. 1, under issue no. 31/2025.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Embodiments described herein relate to electrochemical cells with dendrite prevention mechanisms. In some aspects, an electrochemical cell can include an anode disposed on an anode current collector, a cathode disposed on a cathode current collector, the cathode having a first thickness at a proximal end of the cathode and a second thickness at a distal end of the cathode, the second thickness greater than the first thickness, a first separator disposed on the anode, a second separator disposed on the cathode, an interlayer disposed between the first separator and the second separator, the interlayer including electroactive material and having a proximal end and a distal end, and a power source electrically connected to the proximal end of the cathode and the proximal end of the interlayer, the power source configured to maintain a voltage difference between the cathode and the interlayer below a threshold value."

The patent application was internationally filed on Dec. 18, 2023, under International application No.PCT/US2023/084611.
