Ellipsometry-based failure analysis on translucent LiMn0.5Ni0.3Co0.2O2 in half-cell thin-film lithium-ion battery on glass substrates

Simple one-step synthesis of LiMn0.5Ni0.3Co0.2O2 thin film on Al-doped ZnO transparent current collector has been achieved and integrated on regular glass substrates using a pulsed laser deposition technique. The crystal structure, texture properties, film morphology, and electrochemical properties are compared before and after galvanostatic cycling process. The Al-doped ZnO current collector shows excellent stability after the cycling. Simple...
