METHODS OF MANUFACTURING BIPOLAR SOLID-STATE BATTERIES

The present disclosure provides a method for forming a solid-state battery. The method includes stacking two or more cell units, where each cell unit is formed by substantially aligning a first electrode and a second electrode, where the first electrode includes one or more first electroactive material layers disposed on or adjacent to one or more surfaces of a releasable substrate and the second electrode includes one or more second electroactive material layers disposed on or adjacent to one or more surfaces of a current collector; disposing an electrolyte layer between exposed surfaces of the first electrode and the second electrode; and removing the releasable substrate to form the cell unit.
