Abstract
Articles and electrochemical devices containing electrodes, current collectors, heaters, and/or sensors and associated systems and methods, are provided. The sensors, when present, may be temperature sensors or pressure sensors. In some cases, the heaters and/or sensors are adjacent to the article or electrochemical device. In certain cases, the heaters and/or sensors are thin films that are integrated into the article or electrochemical device.

An article, comprising:
- a substrate layer;
- a plurality of discrete electrode segments adjacent to the substrate layer, each electrode segment comprising a discrete layer comprising electrode active material;
- a current collector domain comprising a current collector bus layer adjacent to the substrate layer, the current collector bus layer electronically coupled to the discrete electrode segments;
- and
- a heater layer adjacent to the substrate layer,
- wherein:
- the heater layer is configured to heat at least a portion of the article,
- the article is foldable, and
- the heater layer is positioned between folded sections of the article when the article is folded.
