(A) The schematic of a transparent battery with grid-like patterned electrodes. In contrast to using thin film electrodes, this concept allows scalable energy storage while maintaining high transparency. The different colors indicate the PDMS substrate (light blue), electrode materials (black), and metal current collector (yellow).
Li-ion batteries are not opaque as usual, but rather appear transparent due to patterned electrode materials covering only a small portion of the whole area and the pattern features being smaller than the detection limit of human eyes. Li-ion batteries with different transparencies were fabricated, such as a full cell with an energy density of Wh L, including packaging.
The feature dimension in the electrode is below the resolution limit of human eyes, and, thus, the electrode appears transparent. Moreover, by aligning multiple electrodes together, the amount of energy stored increases readily without sacrificing the transparency. This results in a battery with energy density of 10 Wh/L at a transparency of 60%.
By varying the width and space in the grid, we fabricate batteries with transparency of 30%, 60%, and 78%, as indicated by the green triangles in Fig. 1B. The corresponding energy density is 20, 10, and 5 Wh/L considering packaging, which proves the feasibility of this approach. Fig. 1.
As battery electrode materials are not transparent and have to be thick enough to store energy, the traditional approach of using thin films for transparent devices is not suitable. Here we demonstrate a grid-structured electrode to solve this dilemma, which is fabricated by a microfluidics-assisted method.
Transparent devices have recently attracted substantial attention. Various applications have been demonstrated, including displays, touch screens, and solar cells; however, transparent batteries, a key component in fully integrated transparent devices, have not yet been reported.
