I don't think so.  In the Li-ion realm, I think even the cylinder
cells are essentially wound up spools of thin ribbon-like electrodes.
(that probably explains why Li-ion cells have such impressive
current delivery capability, especially if you don't care about
wrecking them.)  (says so explicitly here:
