Zusammenfassung:A readily manufacturable, high power, high energy, large area energy storage device is described. The energy storage device may use processes compatible with large area processing tools, such as large area coating systems and linear processing systems compatible with flexible thin film substrates. The energy storage devices may include batteries, super-capacitors and ultra-capacitors. An energy storage device may include a multiplicity of thin film cells formed on a single substrate, the multiplicity of cells being electrically connected in series, each one of the multiplicity of cells comprising: a current collector on the surface of the substrate; a first electrode on the current collector; a second electrode over the first electrode; and an electrolyte layer between the first electrode and the second electrode. Furthermore, an energy storage device may include a plurality of thin film cells formed on a single substrate, the plurality of cells being electrically connected in a network, the network including both parallel and serial electrical connections between individual cells of the plurality of cells.
