最新技術創新推動薄膜電池發展

薄膜電池的彈性、輕盈性和安全性正在引起全世界的關注。

電子設備對人類生活至關重要並提供許多功能。例如，許多應用領域需要輕量、靈活和緊湊的能源儲存解決方案，例如電子產品、健康監測和醫療設備、活動追蹤、智慧卡和穿戴式電子產品。電子設備的小型化和緊湊化正在加速對此類解決方案的需求。薄膜電池透過提供可靠、輕巧、緊湊和攜帶式能源儲存來滿足該行業的關鍵需求，從而實現自發電設備。

薄膜電池是電化學能源儲存裝置，通常透過活性電池材料的層沉積製造，與傳統的圓柱形或棱柱形電池相比，其特點是緊湊且靈活的外形。這些電池通常使用不溶於水的聚合物電解質，該電解質還通過電子方式分隔正極和負極，從而充當隔膜。因此，薄膜電池不需要額外的隔膜材料。此外，非水電解使電池具有彈性，能夠適應應用區域形狀所需的各種形狀，大大提高了空間利用效率。

The Flexibility, Lightness, and Safety of Thin Film Batteries Attract Global Interest

Electronic devices are an integral part of human life, serving a multitude of functionalities. Many application areas-for example, electronic gadgets, health monitoring and medical devices, activity tracking, smart cards, and wearable electronics-require lightweight, flexible, and compact energy storage solutions. The focus on miniaturization and compactness in electronic devices has catalyzed the need for said solutions. Thin film batteries address the critical needs of the industry by providing reliable, lightweight, compact, and portable energy storage that enables self-powering devices.

Thin film Batteries are electrochemical energy storage devices typically fabricated by layer deposition of active battery material and are differentiated by their compact and flexible form factor as opposed to conventional cylindrical, or prismatic batteries. These batteries typically utilize a non-aqueous, polymer-based electrolyte that also functions as a separator by electronically disconnecting both electrodes-the cathode and the anode. As a result, thin film batteries do not require an additional separator material. Additionally, the non-aqueous electrolyte allows the battery to be flexible and conform to various shapes as the geometry of the application area necessitates, leading to much better space utilization.

This report analyzes the various types of thin film batteries classified based on rechargeability as well as battery architecture and contains the following topics. Additionally, it examines the technology landscape of thin film batteries and their classification according to their working mechanism. This section also expands on the typical material used in the fabrication of thin film battery components including the cathode, anode, electrolyte, and current collector. The study highlights key application areas.

Additionally, the report examines the innovation landscape for thin film batteries-highlighting key commercial players involved in the sector and analyzing the patent landscape for thin film batteries for the past 3 years. Finally, the study provides a growth opportunity analysis: it determines the key growth enablers and restraints for the thin film battery industry. Finally, it identifies three specific growth opportunities for stakeholders to leverage in the coming years.
