A chemical battery consists of a cathode and an anode electrode, separated by an electrolyte. The schematic figure of the construction of a solid-state micro battery is represented in Fig. 2.1. Once these electrodes are connected externally, the discharge of the battery occurs and the chemical reactions proceed simultaneously at both electrodes. Electrons flow through the external circuit, and ions transfer through the electrolyte solution counterbalancing the charge deviation. The charge transfer is schematically represented in Fig. 2.2.
