    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for forming a solid-state battery. The method includes stacking two or more cell units, where each cell unit is formed by substantially aligning a first electrode and a second electrode, where the first electrode includes one or more first electroactive material layers disposed on or adjacent to one or more surfaces of a releasable substrate and the second electrode includes one or more second electroactive material layers disposed on or adjacent to one or more surfaces of a current collector; disposing an electrolyte layer between exposed surfaces of the first electrode and the second electrode; and removing the releasable substrate to form the cell unit.

    Abstract: A method for forming a solid-state battery is provided. The method includes disposing one or more cell units along a continuous current collector to form a stack precursor. In some examples, disposing of the one or more cell units along the continuous current collector includes concurrently disposing the one or more cell units along the continuous current collector and winding the continuous current collector to form a stack. In other examples, the continuous current collector is a z-folded current collector and the disposing the one or more cell units along the continuous current collector includes inserting the one or more cell units into one or more pockets formed by folds of the continuous current collector. The method may further include applying heat, pressure, or a combination of heat and pressure to the stack precursor to form a compressed stack, and cutting the continuous current collector to form the solid-state battery.
