    摘要: An electrochemical device is disclosed. The electrochemical device includes an anode and a cathode, and a cured electrolyte composition disposed between the anode and the cathode, where at least a portion of the electrolyte composition interpenetrates at least a portion of both the anode and the cathode. A stacked geometry electrochemical device is disclosed. The stacked geometry electrochemical device includes a first electrode and a second electrode, and a cured electrolyte composition defining a top surface in contact with the first electrode, a bottom surface in contact with the second electrode, and a peripheral edge not in contact with the first electrode and the second electrode. The device also includes a mold wall disposed at the peripheral edge surrounding and contacting the cured electrolyte composition, where at least a portion of the mold wall is transmissible to curing radiation. A method of producing an electrolyte layer of an electrochemical device is also disclosed.

    摘要: Additive manufacturing processes, such as fused filament fabrication, may be employed to form printed objects in a range of shapes. It is sometimes desirable to form conductive traces upon the surface of a printed object. Conductive traces and similar features may be introduced in conjunction with fused filament fabrication processes by incorporating a metal precursor in a polymer filament having a filament body comprising a thermoplastic polymer, and forming a printed object from the polymer filament through layer-by-layer deposition, in which the metal precursor remains substantially unconverted to metal while forming the printed object. Suitable polymer filaments compatible with fused filament fabrication may comprise a thermoplastic polymer defining a filament body, and a metal precursor contacting the filament body, in which the metal precursor is activatable to form metal islands upon laser irradiation.
