Abstract:
One variation of a method for fabricating an electrolyte includes: depositing an electrolyte material over a substrate, the electrolyte material including a monomer miscible in a first volume of solvent, a polymer semi-miscible in the monomer and miscible in the first volume of solvent, and a photoinitiator; exposing the electrolyte material to electromagnetic radiation to disassociate the photoinitiator into a reactive subspecie that crosslinks the monomer to form an electrolyte structure with the polymer phase-separated from the electrolyte structure; dissolving the polymer out of the electrolyte structure with a second volume of solvent to render a network of open-cell pores in the electrolyte structure; and exposing the electrolyte structure to a third volume of solvent and ions to fill the network of open-cell pores with solvated ions.

Claim (Index 13):
The method of  claim 10 :\n wherein fabricating the anode comprises etching a substrate to form a set of cells, each cell in the set of cells comprising a base encompassed by a continuous wall and a set of posts extending normal to the base; wherein depositing the electrolyte material over the anode comprises depositing the electrolyte material into the set of cells and around each post in each cell in the set of cells; wherein exposing the electrolyte material to electromagnetic radiation comprises selectively exposing thin volumes of the electrolyte material, adjacent vertical surfaces of the continuous wall and the set of posts in each cell in the set of cells, to electromagnetic radiation to selectively crosslink the monomer into the electrolyte structure that conforms around the continuous wall and the set of posts in each cell in the set of cells, the polymer phase-separated from the electrolyte structure; and wherein dissolving the polymer out of the electrolyte structure with the second volume of solvent comprises rinsing the electrolyte structure with the second volume of solvent to remove uncrosslinked monomer from around the electrolyte structure and to dissolve the polymer out of the electrolyte structure.
