A battery comprising an anode comprising anode material in contact with a metal anode current collector. The battery further comprises a cathode comprising cathode material in contact with a cathode current collector comprising a transparent conducting oxide (TCO). The battery further comprises an electrolyte with a pH in a range of 3 to 7.

A method of manufacturing micro pins includes forming a release layer over a substrate. A pattern layer is formed over the release layer, in which the pattern layer has a plurality of openings spaced apart to each other and through the pattern layer. A plurality of micro pins are respectively formed in the openings. The pattern layer and the release layer are removed to obtain the micro pins. An isolated conductive micro pin for connecting one or more components is also provided.

A method of forming a metal mold for casting a micro-scale dry adhesive structure includes securing a master patch of material including a micro-scale dry adhesive structure on a plating fixture, electroforming the metal mold on the patch of material, and removing the metal mold from the plating fixture and patch of material.

Such a metal foil is provided that a release layer is provided on a metal foil to enable physical release of a resin substrate, to which the metal foil is adhered, and thereby in the step of removing the metal foil from the resin substrate, the metal foil can be removed with good cost without damaging the surface profile of the metal foil transferred to the surface of the resin substrate, and also resins having different resin components can be adhered with good adhesion. A metal foil containing, on at least one surface of the metal foil, surface unevenness having a root mean square height Sq of from 0.25 to 1.6 m.
