Sol-Gel Packaging for Electrochemical Devices

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Sol-Gel Processing for Conventional and Alternative Energy

Part of the book series: Advances in Sol-Gel Derived Materials and Technologies ((Adv.Sol-Gel Deriv. Materials Technol.))

Abstract

Packaging is an essential part of manufacturing electrochemical devices, such as micro-batteries and super-capacitors. Hermetic packaging is required to prevent humidity and gases from degrading components and interconnects. Typically, packaging is the last step in assembling such devices. Consequently, packaging materials have to be applied at low processing temperatures. Sol-gel processed hybrid organic–inorganic materials are convenient low temperature materials for packaging. This chapter, which surveys the use of sol-gel hybrids in packaging of electronic devices, is based, in part (Jitanu and Klein In Hybrid nanocomposites for nanotechnology: electronic optical magnetic and bio/medical applications. Springer, Berlin, pp. 429–453, 2009), which appeared in 2009. The survey has been updated and focused on electrochemical systems.
