1. A solid secondary electrolytic cell which comprises:
- an anode;
a cathode;
a solid electrolyte functionally disposed between said anode and said cathode; and
a mask comprising an electrically insulative layer that is coated on a surface along the perimeter of said anode, cathode, or solid electrolyte, wherein the mask is fabricated by a process comprising;
(i) depositing a liquid radiation curable material onto said surface; and
(ii) curing said radiation curable material wherein the mask is interposed between the solid electrolyte and the anode or the cathode.

Abstract
A secondary, solid electrolytic battery includes a number of electrically connected electrolytic cells wherein for each cell the anode and cathode are separated from each other by a mask that is a layer of electrically insulative material that is coated along the perimeter of the anode and/or cathode. The mask reduces the rate of dendrite formation and prevents edge-effects, short circuits, and related problems caused by inadvertent contact of the anode and cathode.

13. A solid secondary electrolytic cell which comprises:
-
an anode; a cathode; a solid electrolyte functionally disposed between said anode and said cathode; and
two masks each comprising an electrically insulative layer that is coated on a surface along the perimeter of said anode, cathode, or solid electrolyte, wherein each mask is fabricated by a process comprising;(i) depositing a liquid radiation curable material onto said surface; and (ii) curing said radiation curable material wherein one mask is interposed between the anode and solid electrolyte and the second mask is interposed between the cathode and solid electrolyte. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
