The development of the ultra-thin lithium battery
Abstract
An ultrathin (0.5 mm) lithium battery has been developed. The battery has a voltage of 3 V and uses manganese dioxide for the cathode material and metallic lithium for the anode material. The cathode is composed of manganese dioxide as an active material mixed with graphite conductor and polytetrafluoroethylene binder. The mixture is coated using printing technology, with a stainless steel plate serving as both the positive internal current collector and the external terminal. The dimensions of the battery are shown in a line drawing. Its shape is rectangular, 16.5 mm x 34.5 mm which permits a high degree of freedom in the design of electronic equipment. Some of the potential applications of ultrathin lithium batteries include: power sources for IC cards; CMOS SRAM; and bank credit cards.
