Thin-Film Battery Properties and Performance

The performance characteristics are determined by the type of cathode material, its area and thickness, by the type of anode (metallic lithium, lithium-ion, or lithium-free), and by the operating temperature. The choice of cathode material and the deposition and processing methods used to prepare the cathode film determine the operating voltage range, capacity, specific power, specific energy, cycle life and performance at elevated temperatures. Data for several types of batteries under investigation at ORNL are summarized on the pages linked below. Data for cells with crystalline LiMn₂O₄ and amorphous or crystalline V₂O₅ are available on request.

• Comparisons of different lithium cells
• Lithium batteries with crystalline LiCoO₂ cathodes
• Lithium batteries with nanocrystalline LiMn₂O₄ cathodes
• Lithium batteries with crystalline LiMn₂O₄ cathodes
• Lithium-ion batteries with crystalline LiCoO₂ cathodes
• Lithium-free batteries with crystalline LiCoO₂ cathodes
• Lithium phosphorus oxynitride ("Lipon") electrolyte
