There are four main thin-film battery technologies targeting micro-electronic applications and competing for their markets: ① printed batteries, ② ceramic batteries, ③ lithium polymer batteries, and ④ nickel metal hydride (NiMH) button batteries. 3.1. Printed batteries
Thin-film batteries are an efficient means of storing the intermittently produced electricity from solar and other renewable energy sources. It is possible to design these batteries with a negligible self-discharge rate, allowing them to be stored for extended periods without suffering a serious loss of energy capacity .
Due to its ability to control the properties of individual materials and their interfaces, and by allowing the fabrication of multi-layer structures, PVD technology is an excellent tool for the development of thin film batteries, which are also described in this review.
In addition, LiPON-based thin-film batteries technology suggested the possibility that LiPON solid electrolyte with high stability can be advantageously applied to new scenarios such as preventing the surface deterioration of electrode materials in large-scale batteries.
Sator reported the first thin film cell in 1952 ; it featured a lead chloride electrolyte deposited by vacuum evaporation. Then, the first Li-ion thin film batteries (AgI||LiI||Li) were reported in 1969 . Over the next 20 years, the primary focus of research was on enhancing the performance of SSEs and electrode materials.
The electrochemical performance of thin-film printed batteries depends on the chemistry. The zinc–manganese chemistry is essentially applied in single-use applications, although some companies, including Imprint Energy and Printed Energy, are developing rechargeable zinc–manganese printed batteries.
In the course of technological miniaturization and the simultaneous search for more environmentally friendly solutions, the thin-film battery forms a versatile alternative to the conventional lithium-ion battery.
