    Abstract: The present invention relates to an energy storage device (10) comprising a flexible substrate (12) comprising at least two patterned regions (38) spaced apart from one another along the length of the flexible substrate; each patterned region comprising at least one groove (14) extending in the longitudinal direction of the substrate (web direction) having a first (16a) and a second face (16b); wherein the first and second faces are each coated with a conductor (18) (i.e. a metal) such that there is no direct electrical communication between the conductor on the first face (16a) and second face (16b); wherein the at least one groove (14) contains a material (99) for storing electrical potential energy (e.g. capacitive material, forming therefore a capacitor); wherein the first face (16a) and the second face (16b) of the at least one groove (14) of each patterned region (38) are each in electrical connection with an electrical conductor at opposing edges of the flexible substrate; wherein the first and the second patterned region are electrically connectable to one another. The invention further relates to a coated web for forming an energy storage device according to the invention.

    Abstract: A Dense Energy Ultra Cell (DEUC), a dielectric energy storage device and methods of fabrication therefor are provided. A DEUC element is fabricated using print technologies that deposit dielectric energy storage layers (406) and insulating layers (404) together being interleaved between electrode layers (403). The dielectric energy storage layers are created from a proprietary solution to enable printing of dielectric energy storage layers with high permittivity and a high internal resistivity to retain charge. The insulating layers (404) can be applied within the dielectric energy storage layers (406) bifurcating the dielectric energy storage layers for increased resistivity. As part of the fabrication process, the material deposition printer can apply multiple print heads each with different inks and materials (1301, 1302) to form composite material (1303) in the printed layers.

    Abstract: Supercapacitor structures are provided which include, for example: one or more layers of supercapacitors; and one or more contact tabs. The one or more contact tabs electrically contact and extend outward from the supercapacitor structure to facilitate electrical connection to the supercapacitor structure, and the one or more contact tabs include a multi-contact tab. The multi-contact tab is configured and sized with multiple contact locations which are disposed external to the supercapacitor structure. Various supercapacitor structures are provided, including one supercapacitor structure with a shared C-shaped current collector, and another supercapacitor structure with stacked supercapacitors. One or more additional multi-contact tabs may also extend from the supercapacitor structure(s) and distribute the same or a different capacitor voltage than the multi-contact tab.
