Abstract
A thin-film battery that includes an adhesive layer is provided. The thin-film battery may have active layer (such as an anode, a cathode, an electrolyte, an anode current collector, and a cathode current collector) and a thin-film substrate made of ceramic or glass. The adhesive layer may be deposited over a portion of the active layer and the substrate. This may provide for a more stable, flexible, and mechanically sound thin-film battery.
Claims28
A battery comprising:
- a substantially planar thin-film substrate having a top-side and a bottom-side;
- a cell disposed on the top-side of the substrate, the cell comprising a cathode current collector, a cathode, an anode current collector, an anode, and an electrolyte, wherein the cell has a top-side;
- and
- an adhesive layer disposed on and coupled to at least a portion of the top-side of the cell.

A method of creating a solid state battery, the method comprising:
- providing a substrate, the substrate having a top side and a bottom side;
- depositing an anode current collector, an anode layer, an electrolyte layer, and a cathode current collector, and a cathode layer on the top-side of the substrate to form a first cell, the first cell having a top-side and a bottom-side;
- placing an adhesive layer over at least a portion of the top-side of the first cell;
- and
- sealing the first cell by adhering an element to the top side of the first cell, wherein the adhesive layer forms a seal with the element.
