Method for manufacturing a thin-film lithium battery by direct deposition of battery components on opposite sides of a current collector

摘要

A method of manufacturing a thin film battery cell (10) is disclosed wherein a cathode current collector (11) is passed through a cathode chamber wherein two oppositely disposed cathode layers (12) are deposited upon opposite faces of the cathode current collector (11). Two oppositely disposed electrolyte layers (13) are then deposited upon opposite faces of the combination of the cathode current collector (11) and cathode layers (12). Two oppositely disposed anode layers (14) are then deposited upon opposite faces of the combination of the cathode current collector (11), cathode layers (12) and electrolyte layers (13). An anode current collector (16) may then be coupled to the two anode layers (14).
