6 FAQs about [Thin-film battery module structure picture]

What is a thin film battery layout?

The figure (Fig. 1) shows an example of a thin film battery layout where films are deposited symmetrically onto both sides of a supporting substrate. The full stack of films is only 10 to 15 µm thick, but including the support at least doubles the overall battery thickness. When the support is thin, the entire battery can be flexible.

What is the capacity of a thin film battery?

For very small battery areas, <1 mm2, microfabrication processes have been developed.2 Typically the assembled batteries have capacities from 0.1 to 5 mAh. The operation of a thin film battery is depicted in the schematic diagram (Fig. 2).

How are thin film batteries deposited?

The layers that comprise the anode, cathode, and electrolyte in thin film batteries are true to their name, with thicknesses on the order of microns (0.001 mm). They are often deposited using physical vapor deposition, typically by thermal evaporation and sputtering.

How do thin film lithium batteries deliver energy and power?

The energy and power delivered by thin film batteries are characterized by constant current discharge over a voltage range that gives a full depth of discharge at low currents. The Ragone plot (Fig. 5) of energy and average power shows results for typical thin film lithium batteries.

What are the applications of thin film batteries?

Applications for thin film batteries include: RFID tags, wireless sensors, medical devices, memory backup power, batteries for extreme high and low temperatures, and energy storage for solar cells and other harvesting devices. Manufacturing challenges, especially reduction of cost, are being addressed by current development efforts.

Can thin film batteries be made at low temperature?

Several efforts have lead to low temperature fabrication of thin film batteries on polyimide substrates, but the battery capacity and rate are lower than those treated at high temperatures.6,7 For the battery anode, many designs use a vapor-deposited metallic lithium film as both the anode and current collector.
