Methods for Manufacturing Batteries and Related Systems

Abstract

In one aspect, a method for manufacturing a battery includes forming a battery cell relative to a substrate using a layer-deposition sub-process, with the layer-deposition sub-process including: depositing a layer of first electrode material relative to the substrate; depositing a first layer of electrolyte material on top of the layer of first electrode material; depositing a layer of second electrode material on top of the first layer of electrolyte material; and depositing a second layer of electrolyte material on top of the layer of second electrode material. Additionally, the method includes cycling through the layer-deposition sub-process one or more additional times to form one or more additional battery cells relative to the substrate, with each additional battery cell being formed on top of a previously formed battery cell such that a battery cell stack is created relative to the substrate.
