First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of forming a succession of electrochemical cells along an in-line press comprising the steps of:
- advancing at least one web along an in-line press;
formulating an electrolyte composition containing an electrolyte and a monomer;
printing the electrolyte composition in a succession of patterns on the at least one web;
chemically transforming the electrolyte composition converting the monomer into a polymer that forms a matrix within which the electrolyte is embedded; and
arranging the succession of electrolyte patterns in relation to a succession of electrode patterns to form a succession of electrochemical cells along the at least one web.

Abstract
An electrolyte is formulated as a printing ink and laid down by an in-line press for manufacturing printed electrochemical cells. A curing station transforms the electrolyte to perform additional functions such as separating electrodes, preventing leakage, bonding cell layers, and resisting evaporation.
