Flexible Battery Requirements

1. Thin pouch cells – Less than 1mm thickness

2. Rolled up, Twisted, Bent

3. High energy density

4. Reasonable Power density

5. Good cycle life

6. Wide operating temperatures

7. Good safety

8. Low cost

Flexible Battery Technology1. Anode, Cathode and Separator need to be flexible

2. One approach is to use polymer binders to fabricate

composite electrodes where conductive additives are

added to enhance their conductivity

3. Electrode materials can be printed or coated onto

flexible substrates

4. Cells are assembled into flexible pouch packaging to

maintain bendability

5. Others approaches include the filtering of electrode

suspension through filters to form free-standing films,

or use flexible matrix to hold electrode materials

Excellatron

Excellatron has been engaged in the development of production

technology for TFB (thin film batteries). Rechargeable lithium and

lithium-ion thin film solid-state battery technology was originally

developed at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL).

Thin Flexible Profile - Excellatron has developed a low temperature deposition

process that enables us to use flexible, polymer foil as the substrate. This

technology largely reduces the production cost of thin film batteries and makes

flexible batteries a reality.
