Abstract
A method of manufacturing an anode structure () for a lithium battery is described. The method includes a first deposition of lithium on a first flexible support () to provide a lithium anode-first sublayer (-) with a first lithium surface (); a second deposition of lithium on a second flexible support () to provide a lithium anode-second sublayer (-) with a second lithium surface (); and combining the lithium anode-first sublayer (-) and the lithium anode-second sublayer (-) by pressing the first lithium surface and the second lithium surface together to form a lithium metal anode layer (). Further described are a lithium battery layer stack with an anode structure manufactured according to the described method, and a vacuum deposition system for manufacturing an anode structure as described herein.
