The concept of thin-film lithium-ion batteries was increasingly motivated by manufacturing advantages presented by the polymer technology for their use as electrolytes. LiPON, lithium phosphorus oxynitride, is an amorphous glassy material used as an electrolyte material in thin film flexible batteries.
A solid-state thin-film battery can be safer, smaller, and less expensive. However, the batteries depend on films that can be less than a micron thick, made of highly purified materials, making them dependent on innovative technologies based on PVD. The manufacture of thin-film batteries depends on scarce materials such as lithium.
The mechanism of the thin-film batteries is that ions migrate from the cathode to the anode charging and storing absorbed energy and migrating back to the cathode from the anode during discharge and thereby releasing energy .
The electrolyte, which in thin film batteries is solid, are made from lithium phosphorus oxynitride (LiPON), although current research is trending towards ceramics such as lithium lanthanum zinc oxide (LLZO) and lithium lanthanum titanium oxide (LLTO).
Thin-film batteries have a wide area of applications covering the Internet of Things (IoT), implantable medical devices, integrated circuit cards, smart watches, radio-frequency identifier (RFID) tags, remote sensors, smart building control, astronomical mirrors and other wireless devices.
Since the problem of electrolyte leakage is thus avoided, flexible systems can be built . Finally, unlike traditional liquid lithium-ion batteries, solid systems can be packed together densely to maximize energy density. Thin-film batteries production have the advantage of high energy densities .

Development of thin solid state batteries allows for roll to roll type production of batteries to decrease production costs. Solid-state batteries can also afford increased energy density due to decrease in overall device weight, while the flexible nature allows for novel battery design and easier incorporation into electronics. Development is still required in cathode materials which will resist capacity reduction due to cycling.
