Thin-film lithium-ion battery

<p>The thin-film lithium-ion battery is a form of <a href="/facts/Solid-state_battery/K4Sb5ylA">solid-state battery</a>. Its development is motivated by the prospect of combining the <a href="/facts/Solid-state_battery/K4Sb5ylA">advantages of solid-state batteries</a> with the advantages of <a href="/facts/Thin-film/nSeoUT4Q">thin-film</a> manufacturing processes.
</p><p>Thin-film construction could lead to improvements in <a href="/facts/Specific_energy/zVRhSxPh">specific energy</a>, <a href="/facts/Energy_density/mwBXA7bC">energy density</a>, and <a href="/facts/Power_density/aSQJNy5p">power density</a> on top of the gains from using a <a href="/facts/Solid_electrolyte/oE9l9Em6">solid electrolyte</a>. It allows for flexible cells only a few <a href="/facts/Micrometre/7eDFxD2L">microns</a> thick. It may also reduce manufacturing costs from <a href="/facts/Economies_of_scale/gtAYHuNT">scalable</a> <a href="/facts/Roll-to-roll_processing/VKsVbdMK">roll-to-roll processing</a> and even allow for the use of cheap materials.
