The present invention is to provide a transparent/translucent Li-ion battery. The transparent/translucent Li-ion battery comprises an anode, a cathode, and an electrolyte. The anode comprises an electrode material holder with inner structures, a current collector, and an anode material. The current collector is formed along the wall of the inner structures of the electrode material holder, and the anode material is deposited on the current collector, and filled within the inner structures. The cathode is fabricated with the similar method as the anode by using a cathode material. The electrode material holder with the inner structures can be a patterned glass or quartz slice with concave parts, or an anodized aluminum oxide film with channels. The transparent/translucent Li-ion battery of the present invention provides high transparency and electrical storage capacity.
