This work finds that a LiMnO2/Nb2O5-x configuration enables improved thermal stability in lithium-ion microbatteries, suggesting enhanced integration and temperature range benefits.
All‐solid‐state thin film lithium‐ion microbatteries (TFBs) are regarded as the ideal on‐board power sources for microelectronic devices. However, the indispensable high preparation temperature (≥500 °C) required for commonly used cathodes, coupled with the Li anode's low melting point and high chemical reactivity, restricts TFBs’ on‐chip integration and high‐temperature operational capabilities. In this work, a Li x MnO 2 /LiPON/Nb 2 O 5‐x configuration (LMN‐TFB), featuring a low preparation temperature (180 °C) and exceptional chemical and thermal stability, is proposed to simultaneously enable a wide operational temperature range and on‐chip multilayer integration. The LMN‐TFB exhibits a reversible capacity of 26.5 µAh cm −2 and a long cycle life (83.5% capacity retention after 1500 cycles) at room temperature, as well as adequate working ability in a wide temperature range between ‐20 and 210 °C. Moreover, the integration of multilayer stacked LMN‐TFBs on a chip allows for increased capacity (37.5 µAh cm −2 ) or higher working voltage (6.5 V) than the individual LMN‐TFB, resulting in increased areal energy densities within the limited footprint area without significantly increasing the volume or weight. This work presents a promising approach for constructing integratable and wide‐temperature TFBs, offering significant potential for on‐board microelectronic devices.
