A miniature electrochemical cell having a volume of less than 0.5 cc is described. The cell has a casing of first and second ceramic substrates that are hermetically secured to each other to provide an internal space housing an electrode assembly. First and second conductive pathways extend through the ceramic substrates. The pathways have respective inner surfaces that are conductively connected to the respective anode and cathode current collectors and respective outer surfaces that provide for connection to a load. An electrolyte in the internal space of the housing activates the electrode assembly.

An alkaline dry battery includes a battery case, a hollow cylindrical positive electrode accommodated in the battery case, a negative electrode disposed in the hollow portion of the positive electrode, a separator disposed between the positive electrode and the negative electrode, and an electrolytic solution contained in the positive electrode, the negative electrode and the separator.

The present disclosure relates to a horizontal composite electricity supply structure, which comprises a first insulation layer, a second insulation layer, two electrically conductive layers, and a plurality of electrochemical system element groups. The two electrically conductive layers are disposed on the first and second insulation layers, respectively. The electrochemical system element groups are disposed between the first insulation layer and the second insulation layer, and connected in series and/or in parallel via the electrically conductive layers. The electrochemical system element group is formed by several serially connected electrochemical system elements. Each electrochemical system element includes a package layer on the sidewall, so that their electrolyte systems do not circulate with one another. Thereby, the high voltage produced by connection will not influence any single electrochemical system element nor decompose their respective electrolyte systems. Hence, serial and/or parallel connections are made concurrently in the horizontal composite electricity supply structure.
