Lithium-ion batteries require a minimum cathode thickness of a few tens of micrometers, which limits their specific power. Here, the authors predict that stacked thin-film batteries with 0.15-2 µm thin cathodes can achieve a tenfold increase in specific power to over 10 kW kg−1 and demonstrate the design concept in two monolithically stacked thin-film cells.
