Abstract:
1. An apparatus comprising: an electrode; a separator stacked in alignment with the electrode; a first electrode assembly disposed in a stack with the electrode and the separator, the separator disposed between the electrode and the first electrode assembly to physically separate the electrode and the first electrode assembly, wherein the first electrode assembly includes: an interconnect coupled to the first substrate and the second substrate to physically and electrically couple the first layer and the second layer of the stack, wherein the first substrate of the first layer and the second substrate of the second layer are proximate each other and between the first material and the second material, wherein the interconnect includes a conductive element disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate, where at least one of the first layer and the second layer includes a notch configured to expose the conductive element disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate.
