Abstract A method of forming a plurality of button-type electrodes includes: a) providing a release liner sheet having elemental lithium adhered thereto in the form of a series of discrete patterns having a size and shape of the lithium electrodes being formed; b) providing an electrically conductive sheet having an exposed surface which is divisible into a plurality of areas; c) laminating the release liner sheet with the conductive sheet to adhere the series of discrete elemental lithium patterns onto the respective sheet areas; d) pulling the release liner sheet from the conductive sheet and discrete lithium patterns, leaving the discrete lithium patterns adhering to the conductive sheet; and e) cutting and forming a plurality of discrete battery terminal housing members from the areas of the sheet, with each of the discrete battery terminal housings bearing one of the discrete lithium patterns.
A method of forming a plurality of button-type lithium electrodes comprising the following steps: providing a release liner sheet having elemental lithium adhered thereto, the adhered elemental lithium being in the form of a series of discrete patterns having a size and shape of the lithium electrodes being formed; providing an electrically conductive sheet having an exposed surface, the exposed surface being divisible into a plurality of areas; laminating the release liner sheet with the electrically conductive sheet to adhere the series of discrete elemental lithium patterns onto the respective sheet areas; pulling the release liner sheet from the electrically conductive sheet and discrete lithium patterns, leaving the discrete lithium patterns adhering to the electrically conductive sheet; and cutting and forming a plurality of discrete battery terminal housing members from the areas of the electrically conductive sheet, with each of the discrete battery terminal housings bearing one of the discrete lithium patterns.
