July 2016For the application of batteries in electric vehicles, it is necessary to raise their efficiency for an increased range. One potential candidate as high-voltage cathode in all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs) is LiCoPO4. The crystal structure of the purple material (left pictures) is built up of chains of edge-sharing cobalt-centered octahedra connected to one another by phosphate tetrahedra. Thin films of the material were prepared in our group by pulsed laser deposition (PLD). The image of the surface taken by confocal microscopy (CLSM; right picture) shows roughness as well as waviness of the film.
