OVERVIEW
A thin film battery is disclosed based on the use of ceramic membrane technology. The battery includes a pair of conductive collectors on which the materials for the anode and the cathode may be spin coated. The separator is formed of a porous metal oxide ceramic membrane impregnated with electrolyte so that electrical separation is maintained while ion mobility is also maintained. The entire battery can be made less than 10 microns thick while generating a potential in the 1 volt range.
KEY BENEFITS
- Allows for production of a battery formed from an extraordinarily thin film of material
- Has significant power production in a thin battery
- Allows for battery stacking in compact assemblies to generate high voltage batteries
- Allows for the production of thin film batteries which could be manufactured in a variety of specialized geometries, to potentially produce self-powered devices.
