4 Flexible Battery Requirements
1. Thin pouch cells – Less than 1mm thickness 2. Rolled up, Twisted, Bent 3. High energy density 4. Reasonable Power density 5. Good cycle life 6. Wide operating temperatures 7. Good safety 8. Low cost
5 Flexible Battery Technology
1. Anode, Cathode and Separator need to be flexible 2. One approach is to use polymer binders to fabricate composite electrodes where conductive additives are added to enhance their conductivity 3. Electrode materials can be printed or coated onto flexible substrates 4. Cells are assembled into flexible pouch packaging to maintain bendability 5. Others approaches include the filtering of electrode suspension through filters to form free-standing films, or use flexible matrix to hold electrode materials

Excellatron has been engaged in the development of production technology for TFB (thin film batteries). Rechargeable lithium and lithium-ion thin film solid-state battery technology was originally developed at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL).
Thin Flexible Profile - Excellatron has developed a low temperature deposition process that enables us to use flexible, polymer foil as the substrate. This technology largely reduces the production cost of thin film batteries and makes flexible batteries a reality.
