Abstract
An electrochemical device is claimed and disclosed wherein certain embodiments have a cathode greater than about 4 μm and less than about 200 μm thick; a thin electrolyte less than about 10 μm thick; and an anode less than about 30 μm thick. Another claimed and disclosed electrochemical device includes a cathode greater than about 0.5 μm and less than about 200 μm thick; a thin electrolyte less than about 10 μm thick; and an anode less than about 30 μm thick, wherein the cathode is fabricated by a non-vapor phase deposition method. A non-vacuum deposited cathode may be rechargeable or non-rechargeable. The cathode may be made of CFx (carbon fluoride) material, wherein, for example, 0<x<4. The electrochemical device may also include a substrate, a current collector, an anode current collector, encapsulation and a moderating layer.
