Layered energy storage devices and methods of forming the layered energy storage devices

Abstract:

Layered energy storage devices and methods of forming the layered energy storage devices are disclosed herein. The layered energy storage devices include a first device layer, a second device layer, an intermediate layer, and an interlock structure. The first device layer defines a first electrode, and the second device layer defines a second electrode. The intermediate layer extends between, and electrically separates, the first electrode and the second electrode. The intermediate layer includes an electrolyte material configured to facilitate ion transport between the first electrode and the second electrode. The interlock structure is at least partially defined by the first device layer and also by the second device layer. The interlock structure is configured to operatively interlock the first device layer, the second device layer, and the intermediate layer to one another. The methods include methods of forming the layered energy storage devices.
