| Abstract Scope |
The rise of miniature electronics has spurred the need to develop custom power sources, especially batteries with microscale and aesthetic diversity. Tape casting, the conventional manufacturing method falls short as it can handle only large sizes and restricted form factors. This proves to be a serious constraint in the design of the end components that house such batteries especially when considering applications ranging from the handheld smart devices to NASA's human missions in space. This need is very efficiently catered for by the Vat photopolymerization (VPP). In this presentation, the manufacturability of metal collectors and electrodes using different materials and designs, their electrochemical performance and mechanical stability will be discussed. The challenges in process development and optimization of such electrodes and collectors including their metal-ceramic interface will also be discussed. |
