Abstract: Solid-state batteries, battery components, and related processes for their production are provided. The battery electrodes or separators contain sintered electrochemically active material, inorganic solid particulate electrolyte having large particle size, and low melting point solid inorganic electrolyte which acts as a binder and/or a sintering aid in the electrode.

Abstract: A solid-state battery cell is provided, which contains a sintered metal oxide cathode, in which a surface of the cathode has an array of cavities extending about 60-90% into a depth of the cathode; a glass or glass ceramic electrolyte separator forming a smooth layer on the cathode surface and extending into the depths of the cavities of the cathode; and a lithium-based anode in contact with the electrolyte on a side opposite the cathode. A method of making the solid-state battery cell is also described.

Abstract: Amorphous lithium lanthanum zirconium oxide (LLZO) is formed as an ionically-conductive electrolyte medium. The LLZO comprises by percentage of total number of atoms from about 0.1% to about 50% lithium, from about 0.1% to about 25% lanthanum, from about 0.1% to about 25% zirconium, from about 30% to about 70% oxygen and from 0.0% to about 25% carbon. At least one layer of amorphous LLZO may be formed through a sol-gel process wherein quantities of lanthanum methoxyethoxide, lithium butoxide and zirconium butoxide are dissolved in an alcohol-based solvent to form a mixture which is dispensed into a substantially planar configuration, transitioned through a gel phase, dried and cured to a substantially dry phase.
