Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for battery cells including solid electrolytes. Solid electrolyte cells may be integrated with electronic devices. For example, a solid electrolyte cell may be integrated with a metal surface of a circuit board or an electrically conductive surface of a chassis. Surface-mountable solid electrolyte cells may be electrically coupled to circuit traces using, for example, a reflow soldering process.
Claims11
A device comprising:
- a double sided circuit board including a first metal layer and a second metal layer separated by a non-conductive substrate, wherein the first metal layer comprises circuit traces, and the second metal layer comprises a conductive ground plane;
- and
- a battery cell integrated with the double sided circuit board, the battery cell including:
- a first solid electrolyte layer abutting the conductive ground plane of the second metal layer, wherein the second metal layer is a first electrode of the battery cell;
- a separator layer adjacent to the first solid electrolyte layer;
- a second solid electrolyte layer adjacent to the separator layer;
- and
- a second electrode adjacent to the second solid electrolyte layer;
- and
- an encapsulation layer partially enclosing the battery cell, wherein an edge of the second electrode remains exposed.
