We have carried out a basic study on the charge transfer across the interface between LiNi 0.5 Mn 1.5 O 4 (LNMO) thin-film cathodes and different solid electrolyte coatings, namely LiNbO 3 , ZrO 2 and Li 4 Ti 5 O 12 . In contact to LNMO, the spinel material Li 4 Ti 5 O 12 should act as a solid electrolyte, since it exhibits a very low electronic conductivity in the fully oxidized state. The thin films were prepared by means of sol-gel chemistry and spin-coating. The electrochemical and interfacial properties were studied by combining electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), time-of-flight secondary-ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) and cross-sectional SEM imaging. The results show that the LNMO / LiNbO 3 interface combines a low charge transfer resistance with a high stability.
