Solid-State Batteries with Improved Electrode Conductivity and Methods for Forming the Same

摘要

Embodiments provided herein describe solid-state lithium batteries and methods for forming such batteries. A first current collector is provided. A first electrode is formed above the first current collector. The first electrode includes lithium and cobalt and is formed using PVD in a gaseous environment including at least 96% argon. An electrolyte is formed above the first electrode. A second electrode is formed above the electrolyte. A second current collector is formed above the second electrode.

1. A method for forming a solid-state battery, the method comprising:
providing a first current collector; forming a first electrode above the first current collector, wherein the first electrode comprises lithium and cobalt and is formed using physical vapor deposition (PVD) in a gaseous environment comprising not more than about 4% oxygen in argon; forming an electrolyte above the first electrode; forming a second electrode above the electrolyte; and forming a second current collector above the second electrode.
