Battery Electrode Assembly

Battery electrode assembly refers to the components that make up the electrodes in a rechargeable battery. These assemblies are part of the supply class Batteries, Rechargeable, which falls under the supply group Electric Wire, and Power and Distribution Equipment.

In a rechargeable battery, the electrode assembly consists of two main components: the cathode and the anode. The cathode is the positive electrode, while the anode is the negative electrode. These electrodes are typically made of materials such as lithium, nickel, or lead.

The electrode assembly also includes a separator, which is a thin layer that separates the cathode and anode to prevent short circuits. Additionally, there may be other components such as current collectors and electrolytes that facilitate the flow of electrons during the charging and discharging process.

Overall, the battery electrode assembly is a crucial part of rechargeable batteries, as it determines the battery's capacity, performance, and lifespan.
