SYNTHESIS OF LITHIUM LANTHANUM ZIRCONATE FROM NANOCRYSTALLINE LANTHANUM ZIRCONATE

摘要

Fabricating a layer including lithium lanthanum zirconate (Li₇La₃Zr₂O₁₂) layer includes forming a slurry including lanthanum zirconate (La₂Zr₂O₇) nanocrystals, a lithium precursor, and a lanthanum precursor in stoichiometric amounts to yield a dispersion including lithium, lanthanum, and zirconium. In some cases, the dispersion includes lithium, lanthanum, and zirconium in a molar ratio of 7:3:2. In certain cases, the slurry includes excess lithium. The slurry is dispensed onto a substrate and dried. The dried slurry is calcined to yield the layer including lithium lanthanum zirconate.
