Abstract
LiCoO(2)thin films are grown by radio frequency magnetron sputter-deposition on platinum-coated Al2O3(c-sapphire) substrates. Deposition parameters such as substrate temperature and the partial pressure ratio between O(2)and Ar are varied to find suitable parameters for a cathode offering reversible intercalation and deintercalation of lithium ions. Structural characterization is carried out using X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy, revealing that the orientation as well as the crystallinity of the deposited LiCoO(2)films can be influenced by varying the O-2/Ar ratio and simultaneously applying a sufficient substrate temperature during deposition. Furthermore, both the atomic composition and the atomic distribution are determined using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and secondary ion mass spectrometry. Results show that the films posses surface contaminations of Li and oxygen-rich compounds but have a homogeneous atomic distribution throughout the depth profile. For electrochemical characterization, LiCoO(2)thin films where charged and discharged against lithium metal while using a liquid electrolyte consisting of LiPF(6)dissolved in a mixture of ethylen carbonate/dimethyl carbonate with a molar fraction of 1:1. Reversible discharge capacities in the order of up to 70 mAh g(-1)or 32.40 mu Ah cm(-2) mu m(-1)can be achieved for optimized LiCoO(2)thin films.
