Solid electrolyte for thin film energy storage devices

摘要

There is a need for the development of solid-state micro power sources with both high power and high energy density as a new type of power supply for advanced consumer electronics, MEMS, sensors, computer equipment and communication systems. To satisfy the requirements of a compact and lightweight power supply, thin film batteries are under consideration as candidates for the hybrid power sources. A novel solid electrolyte based on polyoxometalates has been studied for thin film energy storage devices. This class of nano-cluster materials show considerable potential in both proton and lithium ion solid electrolyte conductive coatings. A spin-on thin film deposition process was developed in this research.
