Title: Thin-film Li-LiMn{sub 2}O{sub 4} batteries

Conference ·
OSTI ID:31659

Thin-film rechargeable Li-LiMn{sub 2}O{sub 4} batteries have been fabricated and characterized. Following deposition by electron beam evaporation of LiMn{sub 2}O{sub 4}, the amorphous as-deposited cathode films 1 cm{sup 2} in area by 0.3 to 4 {mu}m thick were annealed at 700{degree}C to 800{degree}C in oxygen in order to form the crystalline spinel phase. The capacity of the cells between 4.5 V to 3.8 V depended on the annealing conditions and ranged from 50 {mu}Ah/mg to 120 {mu}Ah/mg. When cycled over this range, the batteries exhibited excellent secondary performance with capacity losses as low as 0.001% per cycle. On charging to 5.3 V, a plateau with a median voltage of 5.1 V was observed. The total charge extracted between 3.8 V to 5.3 V corresponded to about 1Li/Mn{sub 2}O{sub 4}.
