Abstract

A technology for preparation of thin-film solid-state batteries based on the silver‑iodine electrochemical system by aerosol deposition in vacuum is developed. Functional layers of the battery are studied by optical and scanning electron microscopy. Voltammetric characteristics of the thus assembled battery show that its maximum discharge current exceeds 3 mA/cm2, which is sufficient for supplying power to the majority of medical devices.
