摘要: 全固态薄膜锂离子电池(Thin Film Lithium Ion Battery, TFLB)在微型器件储能领域具有巨大的应用潜力, 传统上多采用射频磁控溅射生长 LiPON 薄膜的方法获得稳定的固态电解质层。文章主要研究了基于偏轴磁控溅射技术的 LiPON 薄膜制备方法, 通过改变薄膜沉积过程中的 N2 气压值, 在0.2 Pa 气压下获得了锂离子电导率达到 2.4×10-6 S·cm-1 的固态电解质层;同时, 将优化后的 LiPON薄膜应用于 LiCoO2/LiPON/Li 结构的 TFLB 中。实验结果表明, TFLB 在 0.1 C 倍率下首次放电容量可达 62.1 μA·h·cm-2·μm-1, 而在高倍率(4 C)条件下放电容量依然可达 51.7 μA·h·cm-2·μm-1, 经过 0.1 C、0.5 C、1 C、2 C、4 C 倍率条件下各 5 次充放电循环后, TFLB 在 0.1 C 倍率下的容量保有率仍高达90%, 展示出了良好的器件性能。Abstract: All-solid-state thin film Lithium ion battery (TFLB) have great potential in micro-power applications. To obtain solid electrolyte layer, the LiPON thin film is usually used which can be deposited by radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering means. In this work, a LiPON thin film deposition method is investigated by the off-axis RF magnetron sputtering method under variable N2 working pressure. The experimental results show that LiPON solid electrolyte layer with Li+ conductivity of 2.4×10-6 S·cm-1 can be obtained under the working pressure of 0.2 Pa. Additionally, the TFLB with structure of LiCoO2/LiPON/Li is fabricated using the optimized LiPON electrolyte. The discharge capacity of first cycle at 0.1 C is 62.1 μA·h·cm-2·μm-1 for TFLB, while 51.7 μA·h·cm-2·μm-1 at a higher rate of 4 C. Moreover, after 5 cycles of charge/discharge process at 0.1 C, 0.5 C, 1 C, 2 C and 4 C, the capacity retention ratio of 0.1 C for TFLB can still reach 90%.
