摘要:In this talk, I’ll discuss the cold sintering process and focus on its application to solid electrolytes. Solid electrolytes are enabling materials for solid-state batteries. Solid electrolytes are of interest for safer and more reliable replacements to liquid electrolytes at a wide range of operating temperatures. Using cold sintering, the solid electrolyte Li1+xAlxGe2-x(PO4)3 (x = 0.50) was densified to around 80 % theoretical density in minutes at 120 oC and 400 MPa. In order to bridge ionically resistive grain boundaries, a 5 minute post-processing at 650 oC was required. High volume fractions of ceramic electrolyte could be co-sintered with polymer. Up to 95 vol. % Li1.5Al0.5Ge1.5(PO4)3 + 5 vol. % Poly(vinylidene fluoride hexafluoropropylene) composite electrolytes were cold sintered at 120 oC to densities exceeding 85 %. After soaking in 1 M LiPF6 ethylene carbonate-dimethyl carbonate (50 EC:50 DMC vol. %), composite electrolyte ionic conductivities at 25 oC reached 10-4 S/cm. Using cold sintering, processing and integration of solid electrolytes and other important technical ceramics may now be possible at polymer processing temperatures.
