"textContent": "Embodiments of this invention include different configuration of lithium batteries that have a cathode made of a lithium containing material, an anode, and an electrolyte/separator between the cathode and anode. The thin anode includes an anode current collector and a nucleation layer on the anode current collector surface that can include one or more thin a semiconductor layers made of a porous, single crystalline, semiconductor, e.g., silicon. A thin semiconductor layer has a layer thickness between 50 nanometers (nm) to 20 micrometers (μm). Configurations of single layer arrays of batteries in variations of electrical series and parallel connections are disclosed along with stacking single and multiple layer arrays (stacks) to form energy storage devices. The energy storage devices are flexible and can store high levels of energy per volume and/or weight. The energy storage devices can be formed into different physical configurations including encased stacked layers (e.g., of battery stacks), curved surfaces, rolls, cylindrically shaped batteries/energy storage devices, etc. Methods of making thin anode structure, making battery banks, and assembling battery banks are disclosed.",
