Abstract
A method of producing a layer of lithiated material is provided wherein a mixture of Li (TMHD) and Co (acac)3 is dissolved in an organic solvent comprising diglyme, toluene and HTMHD to produce a solution. The solution is deposited upon a substrate by atomizing the solution, passing the atomized solution through a heating zone so as to vaporize the solution, and directing the vaporized solution onto a substrate.
Claims23
A method of producing a lithium intercalation material cathode layer of a thin film battery comprising the steps of:
- (a) providing a lithium based solution;
- (b) atomizing the lithium based solution to form a mist;
- (c) heating the lithium based solution mist to a vapor state;
- and
- (d) depositing the vapor upon a substrate.
A method of producing a layer of lithium metal oxide comprising the steps of:
- (a) providing a solution having a mixture of lithium (2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-3,5-heptadionate) and cobalt (III) acetyl lacetonate dissolved in an organic solvent;
- (b) processing the solution to form a mist;
- (c) heating the solution mist to a vapor state;
- and
- (d) depositing the vapor upon a substrate.
