For many thin film batteries, the cathode is usually made of a lithium-oxide complex such as LiCoO2, LiMn2O4 and LiFePO4. The anode material is commonly made of a carbon-based material such as graphite, although lithium and other metals can be used.
As with all batteries, thin film batteries possess both an anode and a cathode, as well as an electrolyte and separator material between the two. For many thin film batteries, the cathode is usually made of a lithium-oxide complex such as LiCoO2, LiMn2O4 and LiFePO4.
The concept of thin-film lithium-ion batteries was increasingly motivated by manufacturing advantages presented by the polymer technology for their use as electrolytes. LiPON, lithium phosphorus oxynitride, is an amorphous glassy material used as an electrolyte material in thin film flexible batteries.
MASSACHUST8 INSTITUTE. High-energy-density lithium ion batteries have enabled a myriad of small consumer- electronics applications. Batteries for these applications most often employ a liquid elec- trolyte system. However, liquid electrolytes do not allow for small scale and thin-film production as they require hermetic sealing.
However, costs can be saved as no hermetic sealing is required for solid electrolyte batteries. In any case, the performance will determine whether it pays to produce Li-ion bulk batteries from thin-films or not. This paper assessed various application possibilities for thin-film batteries.
For making a bulk battery from thin films an economic production method is necessary. The battery layers have to be produced in large areas, large enough to to roll up the thin-film batteries to bulk batteries.
