Abstract
A flexible micro-battery construction which can be contorted in three dimensions while maintaining operation and providing biocompatibility and useful power necessary for small medical and other devices is provided.
Claims11
An electrochemical micro-battery comprising biocompatible cell components including:
- a cylindrical anode extending along a first vector;
- a generally planar cathode extending along a second vector, wherein said second vector is generally parallel to said first vector, said cathode being disposed from said anode by a predetermined space;
- a cathode collector in electrical contact with said cathode and extending along said second vector;
- an electrolyte positioned generally surrounding said anode and said cathode and within said predetermined space to provide ionic conductivity between said anode and said cathode;
- and
- flexible packaging generally surrounding said anode, said cathode, said cathode collector and said electrolyte, wherein said anode extends through said packaging along said first vector, and said cathode collector extends through said packaging along said second vector.
