Applications: Lithium phosphorus oxynitride solid electrolyte, known as Lipon, is a thin film solid electrolyte material that can be deposited by sputtering. LiPON is an amorphous glassy material used as an electrolyte material in thin film lithium batteries. Layers of LiPON are deposited over the cathode material at ambient temperatures by RF magnetron sputtering. This forms the solid electrolyte used for ion conduction between anode and cathode in a lithium ion battery cell. Nancy Dudney from Oak Ridge National Lab reported the addition of a thin-film inorganic solid electrolyte (Lipon) as a protective film in lithium batteries with a liquid electrolyte in her highly cited paper published in the Journal of Power Sources in year 2000.
