Chemical stability enhancement of lithium conducting solid electrolyte plates using sputtered LiPON thin film

摘要

Sputter deposition of LiPON films directly onto high Li conductivity solid electrolyte plates has been investigated as a means to minimize the reactivity of the plates to metallic Li. The LiPON films were shown to effectively passivate the plates in contact with metallic Li, in contrast to unpassivated plates that reacted immediately in contact with Li metal.
