title: Ultrahigh-Performance Cu2ZnSnS4Thin Film and Its Application in Microscale Thin-Film Lithium-Ion Battery: Comparison with SnO2.
abstract: To develop a high-performance anode for thin-film lithium-ion batteries (TFBs, with a total thickness on the scale of micrometers), a Cu2ZnSnS4(CZTS) thin film is fabricated by magnetron sputtering and exhibits an ultrahigh performance of 950 mAh g-1even after 500 cycles, which is the highest among the reported CZTS for lithium storage so far. The characterization and electrochemical tests reveal that the thin-film structure and additional reactions both contribute to the excellent properties. Furthermore, the microscale TFBs with effective footprints of 0.52 mm2utilizing the CZTS thin film as anode are manufactured by microfabrication techniques, showing superior capability than the analogous TFBs with the SnO2thin film as anode. This work demonstrates the advantages of exploiting thin-film electrodes and novel materials into micropower sources by electronic manufacture methods.
