  • Three-dimensional microbattery
    Patent number: 7618748
    Abstract: An electrical energy storage device includes a substrate having an outer surface and having a plurality of cavities communicating with the outer surface. The cavities have interior cavity surfaces. A first electrode layer is deposited at least over the interior cavity surfaces. An electrolyte separator layer is formed over the first electrode layer so as to fill the cavities and to extend over the outer surface of the planar substrate. A second electrode layer is formed over the electrolyte separator layer on the outer surface of the planar substrate.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 13, 2006
    Date of Patent: November 17, 2009
    Assignee: Tel Aviv University Future Technology Development L.P.

  • Three-dimensional thin-film microbattery
    Patent number: 7527897
    Abstract: An electrical energy storage device (20) includes a microchannel plate (MCP) (22) having channels (24) formed therein, the channels having surface areas. Thin films (26) are formed over the surface areas and define an anode (34,38), a cathode (34,38), and a solid electrolyte (36) disposed between the anode and the cathode.

  • Long cycle-life alkali metal battery
    Patent number: 6203947
    Abstract: The present invention provides a cathode for use in a secondary electrochemical cell, such cathode being coated with a very thin, protective film, permeable to ions. The protective film of the cathode usually has a thickness of up to about 0.1 &mgr;m and it provides protection against high voltage charging and overdiscbarging. The present invention further provides a secondary electrochemical cell comprising such a cathode.
