Abstract
A battery including at least one electrochemical cell for generating an electrical current is provided, along with its method of manufacture. In one example, the electrochemical cell is provided on a first substrate and includes an anode and a plurality of cathodes. At least a portion of said anode is located between an adjacent two of said plurality of cathodes. In one example method of manufacture, the electrochemical cell is made via a printing press process.
Claims14
A flexible battery including at least one electrochemical cell for generating an electrical current, said battery including:
- a first substrate;
- a second substrate;
- a cathode collector layer provided on said first substrate;
- a plurality of cathode layers provided on said cathode collector layer;
- an electrically-neutral dielectric layer provided on said cathode collector layer between at least an adjacent two of the plurality of cathode layers;
- an anode layer provided on said dielectric layer, said anode layer being electrically insulated from said cathode collector layer by said dielectric layer;
- an electrolyte layer comprising a liquid electrolyte in contact with said plurality of cathode layers and said anode layer;
- and
- wherein said first substrate is connected and sealed to said second substrate to form an inner space containing said electrolyte, and also containing at least a major portion of said plurality of cathode layers and at least a major portion of said anode layer within said inner space.
