The objective of this joint project between Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) and Eveready Battery Company (EBC) was to develop a coating process that would protect the lithium anode of thin-film rechargeable lithium batteries from air. Several methods were investigated including metallization of the lithium film, coverage of the lithium anode with the electrolyte, lithium phosphorus oxynitride (Lipon), and other ceramic films, and a multilayer coating consisting of alternating films of parylene and metal and/or ceramic films. The parylene-ceramic or metal multilaver coating was found to be an effective packaging method for thin-film lithium batteries
