Patterned Si thin film electrodes for enhancing structural stability
نویسندگان
چکیده
A patterned film (electrode) with lozenge-shaped Si tiles could be successfully fabricated by masking with an expanded metal foil during film deposition. Its electrochemical properties and structural stability during the charge-discharge process were examined and compared with those of a continuous (conventional) film electrode. The patterned electrode exhibited a remarkably improved cycleability (75% capacity retention after 120 cycles) and an enhanced structural stability compared to the continuous electrode. The good electrochemical performance of the patterned electrode was attributed to the space between Si tiles that acted as a buffer against the volume change of the Si electrode.

We applied a roll-to-sheet imprinting process to a largescale substrate. Patterned ruthenium oxide (RuO2) electrodes were fabricated on both glass and flexible substrates. The resistivity of the electrodes on a glass substrate was 3.5×10−5 Ω cm, which indicates that this technique is useful for the fabrication of thin-film transistor (TFT) electrodes. key words: Nano-rheology Printing, Oxide TF...
متن کاملTransmission enhancement based on strong interference in metal-semiconductor layered film for energy harvesting
A fundamental strategy to enhance optical transmission through a continuous metallic film based on strong interference dominated by interface phase shift is developed. In a metallic film coated with a thin semiconductor film, both transmission and absorption are simultaneously enhanced as a result of dramatically reduced reflection. For a 50-nm-thick Ag film, experimental transmission enhanceme...
