An energy storage device such as a silver oxide battery may include a silver-containing cathode and an electrolyte with an ionic liquid. The anion of the ionic liquid is selected from the group consisting of methanesulfonate, methylsulfate, acetate and fluoroacetate. The cation of the ionic liquid can be selected from the group consisting of imidazolium, pyridinium, ammonium, piperidinium, pyrrolidinium, osmium, and rhenium. This device may include printed or non-printed spacers. The printed spacer may include a gel containing dissolved cellulose powder and an electrolyte. The non-printed separator may include a gel containing at least partially dissolved regenerated cellulose and an electrolyte. The device manufacturing method may include applying a plasma treatment to the surface of each of the cathode, the anode, the separator, and the current collector. The plasma treatment method can improve the wettability, adhesion, electron and / or ion transmission of the treated surface. |
