- Thin Film Batteries - Explored
- Thin-film batteries have solid-state construction, which includes a solid substrate of electrolyte cathode (positive electrode) and anode (negative electrode), compared to a liquid/gel type electrolyte in conventional vehicles. Owing to this solid state structure, these batteries could withstand wide temperature range of -20 degree Celsius to 140 degree Celsius. Layers of cathode and anode are deposited through evaporation methods or...
