Patent ID: 8906523

Claim:
An energy device comprising: an energy storage component comprising an electrochemical cell having a plurality of component layers; at least one electrically conductive surface layer that is provided by an anode current collector of said energy storage component, wherein said at least one electrically conductive surface layer is adapted to collect electromagnetic energy thereby enabling a current to be induced within the at least one electrically conductive surface layer, and wherein the energy storage component is adapted to collect and store at least a portion of the current, wherein said at least one electrically conductive surface layer comprises an electrically conductive protrusion extending in a direction parallel to the plurality of component layers of the electrochemical cell and said at least one electrically conductive surface layer extends beyond a dimension of the plurality of component layers of the electrochemical cell; and a substrate that is provided by a cathode current collector of said energy storage component, wherein the substrate extends beyond a dimension of said at least one electrically conductive surface layer.
