The r.f. power effect for Pt doping is investigated on structural and electrochemical properties of amorphous vanadium oxide(V$_2$O$_{5}$) film, grown by direct current (d.c.) magnetron sputtering. Room temperature charge-discharge measurements based on a half-cell with a constant current clearly indicated that the Pt doping could improve the cyclibility of V$_2$O$_{5}$ cathode film. Using glancing angle x-ray diffraction(GXRD) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) analysis, we found that the Pt doping with 10W r.f. power induces more random amorphous structure than undoped V$_2$O$_{5}$ film. As the r.f. power of Pt target increases. large amount of Pt atoms incorporates into the amorphous V$_2$O$_{5}$ film and makes $\alpha$-PtO$_2$microcrystalline phase in the amorphous V$_2$O$_{5}$ matrix. These results suggest that the semiconducting $\alpha$-PtO$_2$ microcrystalline phase in amorphous matrix lead to a drastically faded cyclibility of 50W Pt doped V$_2$O$_{5}$ cathode film. Possible explanations are given to describe the Pt doping effect on cyclibillity of the amorphous V$_2$O$_{5}$ cathode film battery. film battery.

We have investigated the Pt doping effect on structural and electrochemical properties of amorphous vanadium oxide film, grown by radio frequency magnetron sputtering. Room temperature charge-discharge measurements based on a half-cell with a constant current clearly indicated that the Pt doping could improve the cyclibility of V$_2$O$_{5}$ cathode film. Using glancing angle x-ray diffraction (GXRD) and high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) analysis, we found that the Pt doping with l0W r.f. power induce more random amorphous structure than undoped V$_2$O$_{5}$ film. As the r.f. power of Pt increases, large amount of Pt incorporates into amorphous V$_2$O$_{5}$ and makes PtOx microcrystalline phase in amorphous matrix. This result suggests that the semicondcuting PtOx microcrystalline phase in amorphous matrix lead to a drastically faded cyclibility of 50W Pt doped V$_2$O$_{5}$ cathode film. Possible explanations are given to describe the Pt doping effect on cyclibility of vanadium oxide cathode film.de film.

We have systematically investigated the characterization of V$_{2}$O$_{5}$ thin films as a counter electrode for lithium based complementary electrochromic devices. The V$_{2}$O$_{5}$ thin films were prepared by thermal vacuum evaporation with varing the substrate temperature and film thickness. In electrochromic devices for smart windows, the WO$_{3}$ thin films with 400-800 nm thickness require to be capable of reversibly injection 10-15 mC/cm$^{2}$ of lithium, which is readily accomplished charge-balanced switching in a V$_{2}$O$_{5}$ thin films with 100-150nm thick. The V$_{2}$O$_{5}$ thin films produces considerably small changes in optical modulation properties in the visible and near infrared region(500-1100 nm) compared to the amorphous WO$_{3}$ thin films on 10-15 mC/cm$^{2}$ of lithium injection and the V$_{2}$O$_{5}$ thin films can therefore act as a counter electrode to WO$_{3}$ in a lithium based complementary clectrochromic devices. After 10$^{5}$ coloration/bleaching switching time, the degradation does not occurs and the devices exhibit a stable optical modulation in V$_{2}$O$_{5}$ thin films. It has shown that the injected lithium ion amounts in crystalline V$_{2}$O$_{5}$ thin films with the same thickness is large by 3-5 mC/cm$^{2}$ of lithium compared to the amorphous thin films in the same driving conditions. Therefore, to optimize the device performance, it is necessary to choose an appropriate film thickness and crystallinity of V$_{2}$O$_{5}$ for amorphous WO$_{3}$ film thickness as a working electrode.

In order to investigate the photoluminescence (PL) properties of $V_2O_5$ films, amorphous and crystalline films were prepared by using RF sputtering system, and the PL spectra of the films were measured at the temperatures ranging from 300 K to 10 K. In the amorphous $V_2O_5$ film grown at room temperature, a PL peak centered at ~505 nm was only observed, and in the crystalline $V_2O_5$ film, two peaks centered at ~505 nm and ~695 nm, which is known to correspond to oxygen defects, were revealed. The position of PL peak centered at 505 nm for both the amorphous and crystalline $V_2O_5$ films showed a strong dependence on temperature, and the positions were 2.45 eV at 300 K and 2.35 eV at 10 K, respectively. The PL at 505 nm was due to the band energy transition in $V_2O_5$, and also, the reduction of the peak position energy with decreasing temperature was caused by a decrement of the lattice dilatation effect with reducing electron-phonon interaction.

Instead of a solution process producing amorphous $LiV_3O_8$ form, we prepared Lithium vanadate glass by melting $Li_2O-P_2O_5-V_2O_5$ and $Li_2O-P_2O_5-Bi_2O_3-V_2O_5$ composition in pt. crucible and by quenching on the copper plate. From the crystallization of $Li_2O-P_2O_5-V_2O_5$ and $Li_2O-P_2O_5-Bi_2O_3-V_2O_5$, we could abtain glass-ceramics having crystal phase, LiV3O8 from glass matrix. The material heat-treated at lower-temperature, $250^{\circ}C$ had less crystalline and lower capacity, But the material heat-treadted at higher-temperature, $330^{\circ}C$ had higher capacity and $Li_2O-P_2O_5-V_2O_5$ glass-ceramics had higher capacity than $Li_2O-P_2O_5-Bi_2O_3-V_2O_5$ glass-ceramics.

An all solid-state thin film battery (TFB) was fabricated by growing, undoped and Pt-doped vanadium oxide cathode film ( $V_2$ $O_{5}$ ) on I $n_2$ $O_3$: Sn coated glass, respectively. Room temperature charge-discharge measurements based on Li/Lipon/ $V_2$ $O_{5}$ full-cell structure with a constant current clearly shows that the Pt-doped $V_2$ $O_{5}$ cathode film is superior, in terms of cyclibility. X-ray diffraction (XRD) results indicate that the Pt doping process induces a more random amorphous structure than an undoped $V_2$ $O_{5}$ film. In addition to its modified structure, the Pt-doped $V_2$ $O_{5}$ film has a smoother surface than the undoped sample. Compared to an undoped $V_2$ $O_{5}$ film, the Pt doped $V_2$ $O_{5}$ cathode film has a higher electron conductivity. We hypothesize that the addition of Pt alters electrochemical performance in a manner of making more random amorphous structure and gives an excess electron by replacing the $V^{+5}$. Possible mechanisms are discussed for the observed Pt doping effect on structural and electrochemical properties of vanadium oxide cathode films, which are grown on I $n_2$ $O_3$: Sn coated glass.

The electrochromic properties of vacuum deposited V$_2$O$_{5}$ thin films as a function of crystallinity and film thickness have been systematically investigated. The as-deposited films have slightly yellow appearance. V$_2$O$_{5}$ films deposited at higher substrate temperature(>14$0^{\circ}C$) are found to be crystalline while those deposited at low substrate temperature are amorphous. The optical modulation on lithium ion injection indicates that V$_2$O$_{5}$ films exhibit anodic coloration in the 300~500 nm wavelength range and cathodic coloration in the 500~1100nm wavelength range independent of crystallinity and film thickness. The optical band gap energy of crystalline and amorphous Li$_{x}$ VV$_2$O$_{5}$ films shifts to higher energies by 0.17 eV and 0.75 eV, respectively, with increasing lithium ion injection up to x=0.6. The coloration efficiency of amorphous Li$_{x}$ V$_2$O$_{5}$ exhibits very little dependence on film thickness and lithium ion injection amounts in the near-infrared while it increases significantly with increasing film thickness and decreasing lithium ion injection amounts in the blue and near-UV due to the shift in absorption edge below around 500nm. However, the coloration efficiency of crystalline Li$_{x}$ V$_2$O$_{5}$is relatively independent of film thickness and lithium ion injection in the 300~1100 nm wavelength range.

1018-1021 The CuO-P$_2$O$_{5}$ containing P$_2$O$_{5}$ as glass-former were prepared by press-quenching method on the copper plate. By post-heat treatment of these glasses, the CuO-P$_2$O$_{5}$ -V$_2$O$_{5}$ -g1ass ceramics was obtained and the crystallization behavior and dc conductivities were investigovted. The heat-treated glass-ceramics decreased in electrical conductivity by the order of 10$^1$ compared to amorphous glass. The linear relationship between In($\sigma$T) and T$^{-1}$ indicated that electrical conduction in CuO-P$_2$O$_{5}$ -V$_2$O$_{5}$ -gass occurred by a small polaron hopping.

We have investigated the characterization of $V_2O_{5}$ thin films as a counter electrode for lithium based complementary electrochromic devices. The amorphous $V_2O_{5}$ thin films produces comparatively small changes in transmittance in the visible and near infrared compared to the crystalline $V_2O_{5}$ thin films, while the degradation occurs in a-$V_2O_{5}$ thin films with increasing the cycle life time. As the thickness of $V_2O_{5}$ thin films increases from 100 to 600 nm, the magnitude of transmittance modulation decreases. The crystalline $V_2O_{5}$ thin films with thickness around 1000 have electrochromic properties suitable for counter electrode application in lithium based electrochromic smart windows.

Instead of a solution technigue producing amorphous LiV$_3$O$_{8}$ form, we prepared Lithium vanadate glass by melting Li$_2$O-P$_2$O$_{5}$-V$_2$O$_{5}$, composition in pt. crucible and by quenching on the copper plate. From the crystallization of Li$_2$O-P$_2$O$_{5}$-V$_2$O$_{5}$, we could abtain crystal phase, LiV$_3$O$_{8}$. The material heat-treated at lower-temperature, 25$0^{\circ}C$ was less crystalline, but had higher capacity.
