The elaboration process of the amorphous thin layers as well as their chemical and physical properties are described. The value of the electrical conductivity of the thin films is astonishingly higher than the one measured on the bulk samples. Depending on the amount of intercalated lithium, a drastic change of this value is observed. The electrochemical characteristics obtained on these amorphous thin layer electrodes regarding their specific capacity and cyclability are presented. An attempt to build up a lithium-ion battery associating a Li{sub 3}Fe{sub 2}O{sub 3}-based thin film anode to a vitreous V{sub 2}O{sub 5}-B{sub 2}O{sub 3}-based thin film cathode is described Netherlands 1998-09-04 English Journal Article Journal Name: Solid State Ionics; Journal Volume: 112; Journal Issue: 1-2; Other Information: PBD: 4 Sep 1998 Medium: X; Size: pp. 35-40 https://doi.org/10.1016/S0167-2738(98)00211-2 [] 1-2 112 Journal ID: SSIOD3; ISSN 0167-2738; TRN: NL98E1965 ECN; SCA: 250903; PA: ECN-98:0E1965; EDB-98:109543; SN: 98002019268 2010-12-29 658542
