Thin film solid electrolytes and electrodes for rechargeable lithium-ion batteries

Various modifications of chemical vapour deposition (CVD), and electrostatic spray deposition (ESD) have been developed recently for the production of solid-state battery components. In addition, the DSM-Solufill™ process will be explored for the production of thin films of these battery components. The principles of these techniques will be discussed, with examples of materials used for these thin film Li-ion batteries.
