Abstract
An apparatus including an open interconnected wall structure having one or more pores, the open interconnected wall structure including a first electrode material, the pores including an electrolyte and a second electrode material, wherein the electrolyte and second electrode material are supported on the first electrode material within the pores such that the first electrode material is separated from the second electrode material by the electrolyte to enable the generation and/or storage of electrical energy using the apparatus.
Claims18
A method of making an apparatus, the method comprising:
- depositing an electrolyte and a second electrode material into two or more pores of a substrate having an open interconnected wall structure comprising a first electrode material, the pores comprising the electrolyte and the second electrode material in a first of the two or more pores and a different second electrode material in a second of the two or more pores, wherein the electrolyte and each of the second electrode materials are supported on the first electrode material within the two or more pores such that:
- the first electrode material is separated from the second electrode material in the first of the two or more pores by the electrolyte to form a battery structure for generation of electrical energy from the first of the two or more pores;
- and
- the first electrode material is separated from the second electrode material in the second of the two pores by the electrolyte to form a capacitor structure for storage of electrical energy in the second of the two or more pores.
