Abstract
Thin-film rechargeable Li-LiMn2O4 batteries have been fabricated and characterized. Following deposition, by electron beam evaporation of LiMn2O4, the amorphous as-deposited cathode films 1 cm2 in area by 0.3 to 4 μm thick were annealed at 700°C to 800°C in oxygen in order to form the crystalline spinel phase. The capacity of the cells between 4.5 V to 3.8 V depended on the annealing conditions and ranged from 50 μAh/mg to 120 μAh/mg. When cycled over this range, the batteries exhibited excellent secondary performance with capacity losses as low as 0.001% per cycle. On charging to 5.3 V, a plateau with a median voltage of 5.1 V was observed. The total charge extracted between 3.8 V to 5.3 V corresponded to about 1Li/Mn2O4
