Abstract:
1. An apparatus for use as a low-voltage, thin film battery comprising: a ceramic substrate having a first surface and a second surface; a cathode current collector disposed adjacent to at least a portion of the first surface of the substrate, the current collector having a titanium layer and a gold layer; a high temperature annealed cathode from a radio frequency (rf) magnetron sputtered cathode target in an argon atmosphere is disposed adjacent to at least a portion of the gold cathode current collector, wherein the cathode is selected from the group consisting of LiCoO an electrolyte layer disposed adjacent to the annealed cathode; an annealed anode disposed adjacent to at least a portion of the electrolyte, wherein the anode is electrically insulated from the cathode and the cathode current collectors by the electrolyte, and wherein the anode is derived from a lithium intercalation compound selected from the group consisting of V an anode current collector disposed adjacent to at least a portion of the anode.
