Description

The development of thin-film lithium-ion batteries represents a critical area of research for specific applications, including miniature electronics. The increased safety of these batteries can be attributed to the application of solid-state LiPON electrolytes, which serve to limit leakage risk and enable operation at elevated temperatures.

The study focuses on demonstrating the potential of the field-assisted sintering technique (FAST) in the development of a novel generation of Li3PO4-based target. The primary objective is the implementation of this technology throughout the entire technological chain that has been developed within the DEPOION consortium, which comprises Łukasiewicz-PIT, BFH, EMPA and The Batteries. The presentation will provide insight into the different designs from the targets' materials (taking into consideration Li3PO4 allotropic forms and the influence of additives such as Al) and construction perspective. This will result in different microstructures, properties of targets and various deposition effects with magnetron sputtering techniques.

This work was co-financed by Switzerland under the 2nd edition of the Swiss-Polish Cooperation Programme (SPPW/DEPOION/0063/2024-00) within the framework of the project Novel Technology for Deposition of LIPON Solid State Ionic Conductors for Li-Ion Batteries (DEPOION). Supported by the Swiss Contribution to reducing economic and social disparities in the EU and from the state budget through the NCBiR.
