Abstract:
1. An integrated electrochemical and solar cell comprising: an electrochemical cell comprising: a self-supporting ceramic cathode layer having a bottom surface and an upper surface, said self-supporting ceramic cathode layer having a thickness greater than 500 microns, said self-supporting ceramic cathode layer having no substrate layer; a non-supportive cathodic current collector being deposited onto said bottom surface of said self-supporting ceramic cathode layer; an insulator being deposited onto said non-supportive cathodic current collector; a solid electrolyte layer being deposited onto said upper surface of said self-supporting ceramic cathode layer; an anode layer being deposited onto said electrolyte layer; and an anodic current collector being deposited onto said anode layer; wherein said self-supporting ceramic cathode layer is made from a lithium containing metal oxysulfide and said electrolyte to layer is made from Li a solar cell electrically connected to said electrochemical cell, said solar cell being grown on said insulator layer; and an encapsulation layer being deposited onto said integrated electrochemical cell.
