    摘要: A method and apparatus are provided for the cost effective formation of a composite material which includes metallized carbon nanotubes and/or nanofibers that can be used to form portions of an energy storage device, such as a lithium ion battery. In one embodiment, carbon nanotubes are formed on a host substrate using a catalytic chemical vapor deposition process. An initiation-adhesion layer is formed over the carbon nanotubes and a metallic layer is then deposited on the initiation-adhesion layer and each layer is formed using a wet deposition process. In one embodiment, portions of the host substrate are used to form an electrochemical storage device that may be integrated with other formed electrochemical storage devices to create an interconnected battery array. The battery array may be formed as a woven sheet, panel, or other flexible structure depending upon the type of host substrate material. In one case, the host substrate material may be a flexible fibrous material that has multiple layers formed thereon to form a fiber battery, such as a lithium ion battery.

    摘要: A method for forming a battery from via thin-film deposition processes is disclosed. A mesoporous carbon material is deposited onto a surface of a conductive substrate that has high surface area, conductive micro-structures formed thereon. A porous, dielectric separator layer is then deposited on the layer of mesoporous carbon material to form a half cell of an energy storage device. The mesoporous carbon material is made up of CVD-deposited carbon fullerene “onions” and carbon nano-tubes, and has a high porosity capable of retaining lithium ions in concentrations useful for storing significant quantities of electrical energy. Embodiments of the invention further provide for the formation of an electrode having a high surface area conductive region that is useful in a battery structure. In one configuration the electrode has a high surface area conductive region comprising a porous dendritic structure that can be formed by electroplating, physical vapor deposition, chemical vapor deposition, thermal spraying, and/or electroless plating techniques.
