  • Publication number: 20240234797
    Abstract: A green tape composition includes at least one Li-garnet ceramic powder; at least one excess lithium source; at least one dispersant; at least one binder; and at least one plasticizer, such that a porosity of the green tape composition is <10 vol. %. A method includes dispersing at least one lithium garnet powder and at least one excess lithium source in a predetermined ratio in an organic solvent to form a garnet suspension; adding at least one dispersant, at least one binder, and at least one plasticizer to the garnet suspension; milling the garnet suspension; and de-airing under vacuum, such that a porosity of the green tape composition is <10 vol. %.

  • Publication number: 20230361339
    Abstract: A sintered composite ceramic, including: a lithium-garnet major phase; and a grain growth inhibitor minor phase, such that the grain growth inhibitor minor phase has a metal oxide in a range of 0.1 wt. % to 10 wt. % based on the total weight of the sintered composite ceramic.

  • Publication number: 20230318023
    Abstract: A solid garnet composition includes a bulk composition having a lithium garnet; and a surface composition having a protonated garnet on at least a portion of the exterior surface of the lithium garnet, such that the protonated garnet is uniformly disposed over the at least a portion of the exterior surface of the lithium garnet. A method of making a solid garnet composition includes pre-treating an air sensitive lithium-containing garnet with water to form a uniform protonated garnet surface composition; and contacting the uniform protonated garnet surface composition with an acid to form a porous uniform protonated garnet surface composition.
