“…Aluminum air chemistries can also achieve high energy densities and are more favorable than Li-O 2 in terms of anode metal abundance, safety and disposability. However, there are a limited number of non-volatile electrolytes (NVE) that effectively stabilize the Al/electrolyte interface [6,7]. Zinc air batteries have a theoretical volumetric energy density of 6136 Wh l −1 , which is ten times that of current lithium ion batteries Zinc is also abundant, relatively inexpensive, safe for human contact and has a low environmental impact [8].…”

Emerging applications such as flexible electronics and on-body medical devices have created an unmet need for a thin, high energy density, low cost, and low toxicity energy source. We propose here that metal air batteries are particularly attractive for these applications as they eliminate two of the thickness limiting components of other chemistries: the cation-storage cathode and thick encapsulation layers. For the first time, fully printed, ultrathin metal air batteries have been demonstrated with high areal capacities of ∼2 mAh cm −2 for total cell thicknesses, of <160 μm, including the substrate. This provides a volumetric capacity of >140 mAh cm −3 which is among the highest ever reported for cells approaching 100 μm in thickness. The printed cell stack utilizes a printable solid polymer electrolyte based on a non-volatile hydroxide anion ionic liquid and a printed porous hierarchically-structured catalyst layer. The catalyst layer is composed of a porous carbon nanotube cathode current collector network supporting a nanoscale MnCo 2 O 4-decorated reduced graphene oxide air catalyst. This novel combination of materials enables a monolithic, fully printed, and continuous fabrication sequence for ultrathin batteries based on low toxicity materials that does not require an assembled mechanical separator structure or electrolyte filling steps.

“…Three years ago, when the book "Printed Batteries: Materials, Technologies and Applications" [56] was published, most printed batteries employed printed current collectors and printed electrodes sandwiching different membranes impregnated with liquid electrolytes [39]. Since then, different 3D printing techniques have been tested for the fabrication of SEs and QSEs.…”

“…Therefore, very high pressure (5-70 MPa) is needed for cell operation [34][35][36][37][38]. Solid PEs are manufactured by powder-based processing, or wet-chemical processing [39][40][41][42][43]. Like in ceramic electrolytes, dry ball milling is used to prepare the blends of polymer and salts in powder-based processing.…”

Compared with traditional lithium‐ion systems, solid‐state batteries could achieve significantly higher energy density and improved safety. The design and method of synthesis of solid electrolytes are known to affect the electrochemical performance and mechanical integrity of a battery upon charge/discharge. 3D printing, while being the most advanced method for the fabrication of solid electrolytes, remains a bottleneck in the all‐printed batteries and, hitherto, has not been systematically investigated. In this mini‐review, an attempt has been made to address the issue of 3D printing of ceramic and polymer electrolytes by utilizing different approaches, in order to compare the conductivity of printed electrolytes and the electrolytes prepared by standard methods, and to propose investigation and development directions in this rapidly growing field.

“…Those limitations can be overcome or mitigated by organic gel polymer electrolytes, in which conducting salts like LiPF 6 , LiBF 4 , LiTFSI, LiClO 4 are dissolved in organic (nonaqueous) solvents, such as ethylene carbonate (EC), dimethyl carbonate (DMC), ethyl methyl carbonate (EMC), propylene carbonate (PC), and dimethyl formamide (DMF). [ 8a,204 ] Such gel electrolytes are very suitable for printed MLIBs due to the broad operating voltage beyond 3.5V. [ 8b,197 ] For ionic liquid‐based gel polymer electrolytes, the supporting electrolytes are ionic liquids, like 1‐butyl‐3‐methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)‐imide ([BMIM][TFSI]).…”

With the continuous development and implementation of the Internet of Things (IoT), the growing demand for portable, flexible, wearable self‐powered electronic systems significantly promotes the development of micro‐electrochemical energy storage devices (MEESDs), such as micro‐batteries (MBs) and micro‐supercapacitors (MSCs). By overcoming the limitations of traditional fabrication processes, 3D printing techniques have been attracting much attention in recent years. Theoretically, 3D printing technologies can manufacture any customized arbitrary geometry and structure of electrodes and other components by fast prototyping at a relatively low cost to achieve desirable electrochemical performance and simplified integration. To that end, a comprehensive review of recent progress on the applications of 3D printing in MEESDs is presented herein. Emphasis is given to the generally classified seven types of 3D printing techniques (their working principle, process control, resolution, advantages, and disadvantages), their applications to fabricate electrodes, and other components with different configurations. Finally, the integration of other electronics into MEESDs and a future perspective on the research and development direction in this important field are further discussed.
