Low Temperature Deposition of Highly Cyclable Porous Prussian Blue Cathode for Lithium‐Ion Microbattery
Résumé
Small dimension Li-ion microbatteries are of great interest for embedded microsystems and on-chip electronics. However, the deposition of fully crystallized cathode thin film generally requires high temperature synthesis or annealing, incompatible with microfabrication processes of integrated Si devices. In this work, a low temperature deposition process of a porous Prussian blue-based cathode on Si wafers is reported. The active material is electrodeposited under aqueous conditions using a pulsed deposition protocol on a porous dendritic metallic current collector that ensures good electronic conductivity of the composite. The high voltage cathodes exhibit a huge areal capacity of ≈650 μAh cm−2 and are able to withstand more than 2000 cycles at 0.25 mA cm−2 rate. The application of these electrode composites with porous Sn based alloying anodes is also demonstrated for the first time in full cell configuration, with high areal energy of 3.1 J cm−2 and more than 95% reversible capacity. This outstanding performance can be attributed to uniform deposition of Prussian blue materials on conductive matrix, which maintains electronic conductivity while simultaneously providing mechanical integrity to the electrode. This finding opens new horizons in the monolithic integration of energy storage components compatible with the semiconductor industry for self-powered microsystems.
