Graphite multilayer thin films: A new anode material for Li-ion microbatteries synthesis and characterization

A thin-film carbon anode was prepared by a repeat deposition process from a commercial graphite dispersion, Archeson Aquadag®, which produced non-turbostratic films. Electronic conductivity measured with an aligned four-point set-up is lower than that of pure graphite. Cyclic voltammetry studies show that these thin films present the usual intercalation stages of lithium in graphite.
