Recent research has elucidated several guidelines for energy storage approaches to achieve higher power at high energy density along with good capacity retention during cycling. These guidelines address electrode surface areas and active storage layer thicknesses, integration of current collecting features with active layers, and overall structure of 3D electrode features at the micro or nano scale. Here we consider solid state thin film battery architectures fabricated by thin film processes, where the solid electrolyte enables complex interdigitated electrode arrangements. We report projected performance in power and energy density for several configurations as a function of design parameters, including scaling of nanopore batteries already achieved experimentally. Finally, we consider manufacturability aspects in terms of (1) process sequence complexity and (2) comparison to that of other existing technologies based on thin film processing.
