Abstract: A laminated electric core for a lithium-ion battery includes a first current collecting substrate; a first electrode active material layer coated or adhered on an inner surface of the first current collecting substrate; a second current collecting substrate; a second electrode active material layer coated or adhered on an inner surface of the second current collecting substrate; a separator sandwiched between the first electrode active material layer and the second electrode active material layer, wherein an electrolyte is retained at least in the separator; and an adhesive layer between the first electrode active material layer and the separator.
Abstract: A multi-cell battery includes a negative current collecting substrate; at least two laminated electric cores arranged in parallel to each other on the negative current collecting substrate; and a positive current collecting substrate, wherein the two laminated electric cores sandwiches about the positive current collecting substrate, thereby forming two cells on opposite sides of the positive current collecting substrate.
