Thermal CVD법을 이용한 박막전극의 개발 및 리튬이차전지의 음극특성

Development of Thin Film Electrode by Thermal CVD and Its Anode Characteristics for Lithium Battery

The carbon thin film was developed by the CVD method using the carbon source of toluene with the stream of argon gas at $800{\sim}1100^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour. Developed carbon thin films have the material loading of 0.27 mg($800^{\circ}C$), 0.80 mg($900^{\circ}C$), 2.3 mg($1000^{\circ}C$), and 2.9 mg($1100^{\circ}C$) for the disk of 15 mm diameter on single side. The characteristics of carbon thin film as the anode of thin film battery were evaluated using Li|C coin cell. Li|C($1100^{\circ}C$) coin cell has the first specific discharge and charge capacity of 953 mAh/g and 374 mAh/g, respectively, resulting the first Ah efficiency of 39.3 %. Capacity retention of the 5th cycle was 93.2 % indicating good cycleability. The carbon thin film prepared by CVD shows good specific capacity and cycleability, but low Ah efficiency.
