“…However, it is difficult to prepare the stoichiometric LRLO films using PVD methods. [69][70][71] Due to the lack of conductive agents, the voltage fading of LRLO may be more serious in TFLBs. Once the fabrication of well-crystallized LRLO is realized, its application in TFLBs will become competitive.…”

All-solid-state thin-film lithium batteries (TFLBs) are the ideal wireless power sources for on-chip micro/nanodevices due to the significant advantages of safety, portability, and integration. As the bottleneck for increasing the energy density of TFLBs, the key components of cathode, electrolyte, and anode are still underway to be improved. In this review, a brief history of TFLBs is first outlined by presenting several TFLB configurations. Based on the state-of-the-art materials developed for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), the challenges and related strategies for the application of those potential electrode and electrolyte materials in TFLBs are discussed. Given the advanced manufacture and characterization techniques, the recent advances of TFLBs are reviewed for pursuing the high-energy-density and long-termdurability demands, which could guide the development of future TFLBs and analogous all-solid-state lithium batteries.

“…Recently, Kolchanov et al synthesized Li 1.15 K 0.05 Mn 0.54 Ni 0.13 Co 0.13 O 2 (LKMNC) cathode material, and formulated stable inks with poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) binder. [ 55 ] Binder additives are generally needed to provide necessary adhesion to the substrate, and determine the mechanical and other properties of the dried ink after printing. By optimizing the printing parameters, droplet spacing ( p ) and printing layer, uniform cathode film can be obtained, as shown in Figure a.…”

make printing technology an interminably promising approach for functional materials assembly and device fabrication, including but not limited to displays, [4-5] transistors, [6-7] energy storage, [8-10] and biological devices. [11-12] Additive manufacturing builds 3D objects via layer-by-layer adding of materials directly from computer designed models, thus this technology is also known as 3D printing. [13] Extrusion-based 3D printing is a process that involves the pressurized ink delivery through a designed nozzle. It is becoming a new type of manufacturing technology that can be used to build 3D structures from micro to macrometer scale. [14] This makes extrusion printing highly useful in energy device, as it provides opportunity to accurately control the spatial geometry of electrode configurations for enhanced energy densities. [15] Indeed inkjet and extrusion printing are currently becoming standard fabrication tools in many fields, [16] but in this progress report, we will focus on their application in electrochemical energy storage. The coarse printing resolution (around 30 µm) sets a restriction that makes it obviously not suitable for micro electronic devices, but it is sufficient for planar energy devices, e.g., microbatteries, microsupercapacitors, and electrochromics. Generally, the printing resolution is determined by jetted ink droplet rheology property, substrate wettability, and printer quality. Even with resolution limitations, inkjet and extrusion printing provide a convenient and low-cost manufacture approach, and these technologies will continue to advance with the assistance of mature ink formulation and high-resolution printer improvement. In the following, a brief overview of inkjet and extrusion printing technologies will be presented, from apparatus to ink formulation. We will discuss the strategies for successful uniform high-resolution printing. For the application part, our focus will be put on advanced energy storage devices, ranging from batteries and supercapacitors to energy storage electrochromics. Finally, conclusions and outlook to future trends of printed energy storage devices are provided at the end. 2. Inkjet and Extrusion Printing Technologies 2.1. Inkjet Principles There are two droplet generation mechanisms by inkjet printers, which are generically known as continuous inkjet Inkjet and extrusion printing are widely employed technologies in the field of printed electronics. They provide opportunity of manufacturing diverse electronic devices on various types of substrates by employing digital layouts under ambient conditions. In this short review, fundamentals about inkjet mechanisms and ink fluidic characteristics are presented. The interaction between individual droplets and that of droplets with substrates, which are pivotal to the printing resolution and uniformity, are analyzed. In addition, some issues on droplet-based extrusion 3D printing are discussed as an extension of conventional inkjet printing. The recent progress in application of inkjet and extrusion prin...

considered indispensable and stimulate great upsurge in interest on relevant researches. [1-4] Through integrating with multiple functional materials or devices, the miniaturized energy-storage device can power functional systems, such as microactuators, implantable biosensors, and wearable gadgets. [5,6] As far as the performance is concerned, the shift from disposable or nonrechargeable product to a high-energy output device or even complicated system has motivated the improvement of energy storage capability during the past decade. Generally, microsupercapacitor (MSC) possesses the advantages of fast charge/discharge rate and long cycling lifetime, making it possible for some maintenance-free wearable microelectronics and biomedical devices. [7,8] However, the energy storage gap about an order of magnitude still exists in comparison with microbattery (MB), and the insufficient energy supply restricts the widespread applications of MSC in the main power systems. [9] Serving as the primary choice for powering advanced miniaturized devices, MBs ensure sufficient energy density and maintain a stable voltage output. In general, a rechargeable battery consists of cathode, anode, and electrolyte in between, therefore it is the electrode that calls for miniaturization in size ranging from microns to centimeters. The total energy available in a MB generally depends on the active materials loaded on a certain small area. Based on this, some concepts of MB have been proposed, such as ultrathin microelectrode for high volumetric specific energy and somewhat thick microelectrode for high areal specific energy. [10,11] In terms of the dimensional ratio of MB, the thickness of microelectrode gives priority to the transport distance of ions and electrons, thus favoring the improvement in power density when compared with the macro one. [12,13] The decisive factor for the performance of MB is the reaction mechanism, and multiple battery forms have been expanded into miniaturized power supply as the supplement. Among the MBs mainly represented by lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) with organic electrolyte, various alkali metal ion batteries with abundant resources have been explored for possible substitution of lithium. [14-16] From the perspective of intrinsic safety, aqueous batteries have been developed with the merits of both inexpensive electrolyte and relatively higher power density. [17] Additionally, air batteries derived from fuel cells and ideally comprised of infinite O 2 supply for cathode reaction High-performance miniaturized energy storage devices have developed rapidly in recent years. Different from conventional energy storage devices, microbatteries assume the main responsibility for micropower supply, functionalization, and characterization platforms. Evolving from the essential goals for battery design of high power density, high energy density, and long lifetime, further practical demands for microbatteries (MBs) have been raised for the microfabrication technique and device design. Numerous studies have generally...
