METHODS AND DEVICES ASSOCIATED WITH BONDING OF SOLID-STATE LITHIUM BATTERIES

摘要

An example device includes a lithium-based battery 100 having conductive battery contacts 206, 208 protruding from a surface 202 of the battery, where a non-conductive potion 210 of the surface of the battery separates the conductive battery contacts. The battery is a type that undergoes an expansion during charging in which the expansion of the lithium-based battery includes an outward bulging of the non-conductive portion of the battery surface. The device includes a substrate 200 having conductive substrate contacts 214, 216. The conductive battery contacts are electrically connected to the respective conductive substrate contact via a flexible electrically-conductive adhesive 600, 602 that physically separates the conductive battery contacts from the respective conductive substrate contacts and allows for relative movement therebetween caused by the expansion of the lithium-based battery.
