| 摘要 |
A method of forming arrays of electrochemical cells, and improved arrays of cells formed thereby, in which layers of electrically conductive material (16), layers of cathode material (12) and layers of anode material (10) are applied to first and second flexible, electrically insulating surfaces (18) in respective predetermined patterns such that the areas of applied anode and cathode material corresponding to anodes and cathodes of individual cells on each of said surfaces are formed in electrical connection with or isolation from one another by said pattern of conductive material as required in the finished battery; and said surfaces are assembled together such that respective areas of anode and cathode material on said first surface are aligned with corresponding areas of cathode and anode material of said second surface, electrolyte material being disposed between said first and second surfaces such that a plurality of electrically interconnected cells are formed thereby. The first and second surfaces to which the materials are applied may be provided by separate substrates, or may be side by side or on opposite sides of the same substrate. |
