Abstract
The present invention relates generally to electrical devices. The present invention relates more particularly to electrical devices including dendritic metal electrodes. One aspect of the present invention is an electrical device comprising a first electrode comprising at least one dendritic metal structure; a second electrode; and an electrically active structure disposed between the dendritic metal structure and the second electrode.
Claims25
An electrical device comprising:
- a first electrode comprising least one dendritic metal structure;
- a second electrode;
- and
- an electrically active structure disposed between the dendritic metal structure and the second electrode.
(canceled)
A method for making an electrical structure comprising an electrode, the electrode comprising a dendritic metal structure, the method comprising:
- applying a bias voltage across an anode and a cathode in electrical contact with a solid electrolyte, the solid electrolyte having metal dissolved therein, the bias voltage being sufficient to grow the dendritic metal structure extending from the cathode, the dendritic metal structure being formed from the metal.
-22. (canceled)
An electrical device comprising:
- an insulator;
- and
- an electrode comprising least one dendritic metal structure disposed on the insulator.
