Abstract

A flat-plate battery is provided in the present invention. The flat-plate battery includes a negative-electrode layer, a first separator, a chlorophyll layer, a second separator, a positive-electrode layer, an upper plate and a lower plate. The negative-electrode layer, the first separator, the chlorophyll layer, the second separator and the positive-electrode layer are stacked together in sequence, and then are sandwiched between the upper plate and the lower plate. The flat-plate battery of the present invention can store hydrogen by the chlorophyll of the chlorophyll layer to generate electricity. Thus, the manufacturing process of the flat-plate battery is simple and economical, and only natural and non-toxic substances are used. Unlike the manufacturing process of conventional batteries, the manufacturing process of the flat-plate battery of the present invention will not cause environmental pollution even when the battery is discarded after use.
