Abstract |
|
|
|
A sandwiched thin film solid electrolyte with three layers of Li3PO4 and two layers of Ge, so called Li3PO4/Ge, has been produced by radio-frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering. With the optimization of those layers’ thickness, the maximum ionic conductivity of 1.5×10-6 S/cm accompanied with the ion transport number of 99.97% and the stable voltage window up to 5 V was accomplished in this sandwiched Li3PO4/Ge thin film solid electrolyte. The ionic conductivity can be well maintained at its original level even after two months in the air. Further detailed composition information in this Ge-layer composited thin film electrolyte was revealed by the X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS) investigation, which evidences the interaction of Ge atoms with Li and P resulting in the increase of the ionic conductivity by three orders of magnitude with comparison to that of the sample without Ge composition.
