Abstract

In the study Li4/3Ti5/3O4 thin films were deposited on Pt substrates by sol-gel method using a spin coator. The coated films are dried at 310-360 °C, and then annealed at 500-800 °C for 30min. The prepared films were characterized by X-ray diffraction, atomic force microscope and scanning electron microscope. The results indicated that the prepared film belonged to a spinel structure and had a uniform morphology. Electrochemical properties of the prepared electrode films were evaluated by using a discharge and charge test. From these results, it can be showed that the thin film electrode annealed at 700 °C exhibited good crystallinity, smooth surface morphology, high capacity, and good rechargeability. Therefore, This film was therefore suitable for use as an anode for thin-film microbatteries.
