Abstract: | Epitaxial Li(4)Ti(5)O(12) thin-films were successfully synthesized on SrTiO(3) single-crystal substrates with (111), (110), and (100) lattice plane orientations using pulsed laser deposition (PLD). Thin-film X-ray diffraction (XRD) revealed that the Li(4)Ti(5)O(12) films had the same orientation as the SrTiO(3) substrates: Li(4)Ti(5)O(12) (111) on SrTiO(3) (111), Li(4)Ti(5)O(12) (110) on SrTiO(3) (110), and Li(4)Ti(5)O(12) (100) on SrTiO(3) (100). These epitaxial films contained island structures, and the morphology of the (111), (110), and (100) films, observed by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), exhibited angular, needle-like, and circular shapes, respectively. The electrochemical properties of 20 nm thick Li(4)Ti(5)O(12) (111) and (110) films were investigated by cyclic voltammetry. Reversible intercalation proceeded through both lattice planes due to the three-dimensional diffusion pathway of lithium in the spinel framework. Reduction peaks in the first cathodic scan appeared at different positions from those in subsequent scans, suggesting a surface reconstruction at the Li(4)Ti(5)O(12) surface due to interfacial reactions. |
