Solid state battery using a hydrogenated silicon nitride electrolyte

A solid state battery comprising:

• A.) a substrate;
• B.) at least one multilayered electrochemical cell deposited onto said substrate, said multilayered electrochemical cell comprising:
• 1) a solid state layer of negative electrode material capable of electrochemically adsorbing and desorbing protons during charge and discharge;
• 2) a solid state layer of positive electrode material capable of electrochemically desorbing and adsorbing protons during charge and discharge;
• and
• 3) a solid state layer of hydrogenated silicon nitride material disposed between said layer of positive electrode material and said layer of negative electrode material, where said layer of hydrogenated silicon nitride material is electrically insulating and capable of readily conducting or transporting protons from said layer of positive electrode material to said layer of negative electrode material while said battery is charging and from said layer of negative electrode material to said layer of positive electrode material while said battery is discharging;
• and
• C.) an electrically conductive layer deposited a top the last of said at least one multilayered electrochemical cells, said electrically conductive layer providing one battery terminal.
