Abstract
An apparatus for use as a fracture absorption layer, and an apparatus for use as an electrochemical device are taught. The apparatuses of the present invention may be of particular use in the manufacture of thin-film, lightweight, flexible or conformable, electrochemical devices such as batteries, and arrays of such devices. The present invention may provide many advantages including stunting fractures in a first electrochemical layer from propagating in a second electrochemical layer.
