Abstract:

With funding from the FlexTech Alliance, ITN Energy Systems and ENrG Inc. have demonstrated promising new thin, solid-state lithium rechargeable batteries (SSLB) capable of providing the high power and energy required for many flexible electronics, wireless devices/sensors, wearables, medical devices, unmanned vehicles, portable power, etc. Combining ITN’s SSLB with ENrG’s ultra-thin flexible ceramic solves the capacity and packaging issues that have thus far limited the thin film battery technology to niche applications. With a capacity up to 100 mAh in a thickness less than 250 microns, including hermetic packaging, the new SSLB enables energy density greater than 1,000 Wh/l while maintaining the benefits of enhanced safety and durability provided by the all solid state chemistry. Results are also presented for a new Flexible Integrated Power Pack (FIPP) that adds in-field solar recharging by combing the SSLB with Lucintech’s high efficiency CdTe solar cells.
