  • Patent number: 11581139
    Abstract: An integrated energy storage component that includes a substrate supporting a contoured layer having a region with a contoured surface such as elongated pores. A stack structure is provided conformally over the contoured surface of this region. The stack is a single or repeated instance of MOIM layers, or MIOM layers, the M layers being metal layers, or a quasi-metal such as TiN, the O layers being oxide layers containing ions, and the I layer being an ionic dielectric. The regions having a contoured surface may be formed of porous anodized alumina.

  • Patent number: 9882183
    Abstract: The fabrication method of a lithium microbattery provides for use of a substrate successively covered by: a cathode, a solid electrolyte, and a first electrically conducting layer made from a material configured to combine with the lithium atoms. The first layer is devoid of contact with the cathode. The method further includes formation of a second electrically conducting layer configured to form a diffusion barrier for the lithium atoms. The second layer is electrically connected to the first layer and leaves at least a part of the first layer uncovered, the part being facing the electrolyte. Electrochemical deposition of a lithium anode is then performed from germination from the first and second electrically conducting layers.
