The Li[Li{sub 0.2}Mn{sub 0.56}Ni{sub 0.13}Co{sub 0.13}]O{sub 2} thin films were prepared by radio frequency magnetron sputtering on Pt/Ti/SiO{sub 2}/Si substrate with target contained a 5% excess of lithium precursor. Thin films were deposited under various deposition conditions such as working pressure, gas ratio of Ar and O{sub 2}, and the temperature of in-situ annealing treatment. The thin films were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The electrochemical property was estimated by a WBC3000 cycler with Li|Li[Li{sub 0.2}Mn{sub 0.54}Ni{sub 0.13}Co{sub 0.13}]O{sub 2} half-type cell at 1C charge/discharge rate. The (0 0 3) and (1 0 4) diffraction peaks which represent layered {alpha}-NaFeO{sub 2} type structure (space group R-3m) were observed. Optimal magnetron sputtering conditions were detected. The 500 Degree-Sign C annealed thin film after deposited at 10 m Torr in Ar:O{sub 2}=3:1 shows a high discharge capacity of around 62 {mu}Ah/cm{sup 2} {mu}m with a high cyclic retention. - Graphical abstract: The Li[Li{sub 0.2}Mn{sub 0.56}Ni{sub 0.13}Co{sub 0.13}]O{sub 2} films is suitable for Lithium thin film battery. The film exhibits great discharge capacity (62 {mu}Ah/cm{sup 2} {mu}m) up to 200 cycles. Highlights: Black-Right-Pointing-Pointer High capacity thin films were deposited by RF magnetron sputtering. Black-Right-Pointing-Pointer Sputtering conditions were optimized by structural and electrochemical analysis. Black-Right-Pointing-Pointer Li[Li{sub 0.2}Mn{sub 0.56}Ni{sub 0.13}Co{sub 0.13}]O{sub 2} thin film shows a high capacity, 62 {mu}Ah/cm{sup 2} {mu}m. Black-Right-Pointing-Pointer The thin film shows an excellent cycling stability up to 200 cycles.
