Physical Properties

General DescriptionThe THINERGY™ MEC101 is a solid-state, f lexible,rechargeable, thin-film Micro-Energy Cell (MEC®). Thisunique device substantially outperforms all other small formfactor electrochemical energy storage technologies, includ-ing supercapacitors, printed batteries, and other thin-filmbatteries. The device is fabricated on a metal foil substrateto achieve its flexibility, thin profile, broad operating temper-ature range, and long life.

The MEC is offered in a unique, patented package designthat maximizes the active area of the cell and minimizes thedevice footprint to deliver the highest energy and powerdensity of any energy storage element of its size. Externalterminals in the form of metal tabs run along the length ofthe cell on two opposite edges to provide contact when con-necting to wires, a PCB, or stacking the cells into a module.These tabs also allow easy connection to both terminalsfrom either side of the cell, which is important during auto-

mated assembly onto flex circuits and printed circuit boards(PCBs). The highly conductive metal tabs allow variousconnection methods including epoxies, anisotropic conduc-tive film (ACF) materials, and lead-free solder. The cells canbe oriented to stack in series (to multiply voltage) or in par-allel (to multiply capacity and power).

The MEC101 is an extremely thin energy storage devicethat can withstand the heat and pressure of hot laminationprocesses, allowing it to be deeply embedded into rigid orflex PCBs, multi-chip modules (MCM), or system in pack-age (SIP) implementations.

The active materials in the device include a LiCoO2 cathodeand a Li-metal anode. A solid-state electrolyte called LiPON(Lithium Phosphorus Oxynitride), with its high Li-ion con-ductivity, is used to provide superior power performance.The extremely low electron conductivity within LiPON

THINERGY™ MEC101: Solid-State, Flexible, Rechargeable Thin-Film Micro-Energy Cell

results in ultra-low self discharge, making this technologyideal for applications using ambient energy harvestingcharging solutions. In addition, this technology emits notoxic chemicals, providing industry-leading safety withabsolutely no possibility for chemical leakage, thermal run-away or fire, as experienced with other Li-ion batteriesusing liquid or gel electrolytes. A proprietary encapsulationmethodology is used to ensure reliability and performanceunder harsh environmental conditions, far exceeding othermicro-energy storage technologies.

The thin form factor, rechargeability, and high dischargerate capability enable applications where conventionalcoin/button or primary thin batteries are not well suited. Dueto its low internal cell resistance, the MEC offers superiorcharge acceptance, making it an ideal energy storagedevice for applications where extremely low currentrecharge sources are available, including various ambientenergy harvesting methods. Pulsed or continuous currents

as low as 1 µA can be used to effectively recharge thisdevice. The MEC recharges in seconds to minutes, depend-ing on its state of discharge and available charge current.MECs can be recharged using constant current, constantvoltage, pulsed current, or pulsed voltage sources. Anycharge voltage greater than cell voltage (not to exceed themaximum specified recharge voltage) will result in charging.A variety of charging methods can be used, such as directconnection to a power supply, wireless recharge via induc-tive coupling, or energy scavenging solutions that harvestkinetic, solar, RF, magnetic, or thermal energy.

The low self-discharge rate results in decades of shelf life.With its recharge cycle stability, the device offers thousandsof recharge cycles for many years of use with no memoryeffects. The MEC101 provides an extremely safe, reliable,and low-cost energy storage solution that outperforms anyother micro-battery or capacitor solution. This componentclass device is designed in for the life of the product.
