Abstract

For the fabrication of thin films, Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) techniques specified greater contribution than all other deposition techniques. Laser Ablation or Pulsed Laser deposition (PLD) technique is the one of most promising techniques for the fabrication of thin films among all other physical vapor deposition. In particular, flexible thin-film energy storage fabrication PLD plays an important role due to its special parameters such as fine thickness control, partial pressure atmospheric condition, pulsed repetition rate, in-situ annealing and microstructure optimization. Very recently, thin film supercapbatteries have been broadly studied, in which the battery and supercapacitor based electrodes are combined to obtain a high specific power and specific energy density and extended cycle stability. In order to fabricate thin film supercapbatteries, electrodes that have a large potential window, high capacitance, and capacity performance are vastly desired. Thus, the presented chapter represents an important enhancement in the growth of economical and eco-friendly thin flexible supercapbatteries and confirms their potential in sensible applications such as transport electronics devices and other gadgets.

Highlights

  • Increasing energy consumption, rising human population and global warming has raised the necessity to progress alternative energy sources and Electrochemical Energy Storage (EES) devices for futuristic necessities

  • In the past few years ago EES device assembling electrodes such as anodes and cathodes fabrication frequently used approaches like Slurry, Hydrothermal and other synthesis methods ensuring sufficient draw backs for instance the active materials should be very high, low stability owing to require for proper binder, bulky electrodes may not appropriate for micro electronic device fabrication, larger size EES devices, essential proper complex mixture of active materials

  • As we identify that together with the different physical vapor deposition (PVD) techniques such as Thermal evaporation, e-beam evaporation, Magnetron sputtering and Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD), in predominantly PLD is matchless for the intention that its competency to functioning in very high pressure of background reactive gases

Summary

Introduction

Increasing energy consumption, rising human population and global warming has raised the necessity to progress alternative energy sources and Electrochemical Energy Storage (EES) devices for futuristic necessities. In the past few years, widespread activities have been defined to emphasize for the capable and simplistic progressions to fabricate thin, stretchable, and signifigant solid-state flexible batteries and supercapacitors, which are well thought-out as one of the opted candidates for most promising power sources in many of the portable and microelectronic applications [7–9]. An example for anode (WO3) and cathode (V2O5) which based on the use of massive scale to micro / Nano scale structures to enhance the electrochemical properties of new energy systems with appropriate cost. This approach will be defined and delivered for enlightening device performances with extended cycle life of thin film Supercapacitors / Supercapbatteries based on the principal of electrochemical solid state redox reactions
