Abstract

Abstract Lithium manganese oxide thin films have been deposited on nickel (Ni) and platinum (Pt) coated stainless steel substrates at room temperature using powder target by Radio Frequency (rf) reactive magnetron sputtering. The samples are exposed to heat treatment at 500 °C to form crystalline phase. Nickel and platinum thin film coatings have been carried out using direct current (DC) sputtering. X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and electrochemical characterizations have been carried out. XPS spectra indicate the presence of all elements present in the powder target. A discharge capacity of 54 µAh µm−1 cm−2 and 48 µAh µm−1 cm−2 has been obtained from charge discharge studies in the potential range 2.0 to 4.4 V for the thin film samples deposited on Ni and Pt coated SS substrates correspondingly Charge discharge cycles are conducted up to 40 cycles.
