The invention relates to an energy storage device including at least one block having n energy storage units, where n&#x2265;2; a charge and discharge management circuit electrically linked to the n storage units and making it possible to alternately connect all of the energy storage units of one and the same block to one another; and the block having a defined block voltage between the low potential of the first energy storage unit and the high potential of the nth energy storage unit. The charge and discharge management circuit includes: first means for triggering the toggling from a parallel mode to a series mode and second means for triggering the toggling from the series mode to the parallel mode.

Electrical energy storage device capable of being recharged under a first voltage and of recovering its energy under a second voltage

An infrared IR radiation emission surface in a predetermined wavelength range comprises a substrate made of a material based on silicon carbide SiC, and an ensemble of texturing microstructures covering the exposed emission face of the substrate. Each microstructure is formed by a single protuberance, which is arranged on and integrally with the substrate. The microstructures have the same shape and the same dimensions, and are distributed over the face of the substrate in a bidimensional periodic pattern. The shape of each microstructure is smooth and regular, with a radius of curvature which varies continuously from the apex of the microstructure to the exposed emission face of the substrate.

A microbattery that includes, in succession starting from a first substrate: a first current collector, a first electrode, an electrolyte, a second electrode consisting of a solder joint, a second current collector and a second substrate. Additionally, a method for manufacturing a microbattery, which includes the following steps: forming a thin-film multilayer including, in succession from the first substrate, a first current collector, a first electrode, an electrolyte and a first metal film; forming a second current collector on a face of a second substrate; and forming a second electrode by soldering the first metal film and the second current collector together, said substrates being placed facing each other during assembly.

Microbattery and method for manufacturing a microbattery

The microcomponent, for example a microbattery, comprising a stack with at least two superposed layers on a substrate, is made using a single steel mask able to expand under the effect of temperature. The mask comprises at least one off-centered opening. The mask being at a first temperature, a first layer is deposited through the opening of the mask. The mask being at a second temperature, higher than the first temperature, a second layer is deposited through the opening of the mask. Finally, the mask being at a third temperature, higher than the second temperature, a third layer is deposited through the opening of the mask.

Method for producing at least one microcomponent with a single mask

The microbattery is formed by a stack of solid thin layers on a substrate which, starting from the substrate, successively comprises a first electrode, a solid electrolyte and a second electrode/current collector assembly. A first surface and a second surface of the electrolyte are respectively in contact with a main surface of the first electrode and a main surface of the second electrode/current collector assembly. The dimensions of the main surface of the first electrode are smaller than the dimensions of the main surface of said assembly, and the dimensions of the first surface of the solid electrolyte are smaller than the dimensions of the second surface of the solid electrolyte. The solid electrolyte is furthermore not in contact with the substrate.
