He who sees things grow from the beginning
will have the best view of them.Aristotle (384 BC–c. 322 BC)
Printed batteries are an excellent alternative to conventional batteries for an increasing number of applications such as radio frequency sensing, interactive packaging, medical devices, sensors, and related consumer products. These batteries result from the combination of conventional battery technologies and printing technologies. Printed batteries are increasingly being explored for highly innovative energy storage systems, offering the possibility for better integration into devices and novel application areas.
In this context, the main motivation of the present book is to offer the first comprehensive account on this interesting and growing research field providing the main definitions, the present state of the art, the main research issues and challenges, and the main application areas. In this scope, this book summarizes the frontline research in this fascinating field of study, presented by selected authors with truly innovative and preponderant work.
The book provides an introduction to printed batteries and the current state of the art on the different types and materials, as well as the printing techniques for these batteries. Further, the main applications that are being developed for those printed batteries are addressed as well as the principal advantages and remaining challenges in this research field.
The first chapter provides a general overview of the area of printed batteries. It deals with definitions and the main printed batteries types such as lithium-ion, Zn/MnO2 and related systems. The advantages and disadvantages of printed batteries are discussed and the main applications summarized. Chapter 2 describes the printing techniques used for the production of printed batteries and gives a brief description of materials, substrates and the process chain used in printed batteries. Chapter 3 deals with the important issue of the influence of slurry rheology on electrode processing through its formulation, preparation technique, coating and drying systems. Moreover, the rheological characteristics of the electrode slurry are described.
Chapter 4 focuses on the polymer electrolytes used for the development of printed batteries. The state of the art on polymer electrolytes produced with different printing techniques is described in this chapter, as well as the electrolytes used in conventional and lithium-ion batteries.
The subject of Chapter 5 is the design of printed battery components. This chapter focuses on printed material layers for the electrodes used in Zn/MnO2 batteries, lithium-ion batteries, and related systems.
Chapter 6 presents the main applications of printed batteries. Power electronics, RFID, sensors and actuators, medical and energy-harvesting devices are presented and discussed.
Taking into account the different applications of printed batteries, Chapter 7 provides an industrial perspective on printed batteries considering relevant industrial aspects such as layout considerations, current collectors, carrier substrates and multifunctional substrates, among other topics.
Finally, Chapter 8 summarizes some of the main open questions and challenges and the outlook for this research field.
This book would have not been possible without the dedicated and insightful work of the authors of the different chapters. The editors truly thank them for agreeing to devote their precious time to this enterprise. We thank them for their kindness, dedication and excellence in providing high-quality chapters illustrating the main features, challenges and potential of the area of printed batteries. It has been a pleasure and an honor to work with you in this important landmark in the field!
Additionally, this book would not have been possible without the continuous dedication, support and understanding of our research group colleagues both at the Center of Physics, University of Minho, Portugal, and the BCMaterials, Basque Center for Materials, Applications and Nanostructures, Leioa, Spain. Thank you all for the beautiful and continuous endeavor of driving science and technology a step further together and for sharing this important part of our lives!
Last but not least, we truly thank the team from Wiley for their excellent support: from the first contacts with Rebecca Ralf and Sarah Higginbotham to the last with Shagun Chaudhary, Máire O’Dwyer, Emma Strickland, Rajitha Selvarajan and Lesley Jebaraj, passing through the different colleagues that supported this work; your kindness, patience, continuous support, technical expertise and insights were essential to make this book come true. It has been a real pleasure to work together with you!
Finally, let us hope this first book on printed batteries will promote not only a deeper understanding of this increasingly relevant research and application area but also the interest and motivation to tackle the main challenges, so that we all together contribute to a bright and innovative future in the area of printed batteries!
