Abstract
A flexible energy storage device comprising a flexible housing; an electrolyte contained within the housing; an anode and cathode comprise a current collector and anode/cathode material supported on the current collector. The current collector comprising a fabric substrate (101) and an electron-conductive material (102). The electron conductive material contains voids to enable penetration of the current collector by the electrolyte.
Claims19
A flexible lithium-based energy storage device comprising:
- a flexible housing;
- an ionic liquid electrolyte comprising lithium mobile ions contained within the housing;
- an anode comprising a current collector and anode material supported on the current collector, the
- current collector comprising a fabric substrate and an electron-conductive material, wherein the electron-conductive material contains voids to enable penetration of the current collector by the electrolyte;
- and
- a cathode comprising a current collector 15 and cathode material supported on the current collector,
- the current collector comprising a fabric substrate and an electron-conductive material, wherein the electron-conductive material contains voids to enable penetration of the current collector by the electrolyte.
