stacking with an anode a heat pellet and a current collector sheet the cross sectional view of fig2 a f depict the process for making a laminate of a pcc film along with a fes 2 powder bed i e eliminating the use of hydraulic pressing for producing the electrode the laminated component 30 enables thin large diameter separator and cathode combinations to be assembled into a thermal battery as shown in fig2 a the process uses a conveyor belt 50 that consists of plates with shallow cups in fig2 b the first step involves placing an amount of metal sulfide powder 8 onto a conveyor that moves through a tunnel furnace the powder can be dispensed by a shoe a powder filled hopper traveling over a cavity not shown or as a die punched piece of tapecasted electrode powder in fig2 c a pcc film 12 is placed onto the electrode powder 8 in turn fig2 d illustrates placing an electrolyte powder 10 onto the pcc film 12 the amount of electrolyte powder 10 placed onto the pcc film 12 is just enough to infiltrate both the pcc film 12 and the fes 2 powder bed 8 again the electrolyte powder can be dispensed by a shoe a powder filled hopper traveling over a cavity not shown or as a die punched piece of tapecasted electrolyte powder the stacked components are then conveyed through the tunnel furnace at about 550 u00b0 c for about 2 minutes batch processing in a vacuum oven e g at about 550 u00b0 c can also be used to melt the electrolyte as shown in fig2 e the electrolyte powder 10 melts and infiltrates into.
