  • Publication number: 20240217884
    Abstract: A core-shell particle includes a core and a shell that is wrapped around the core. The core includes aluminum nitride. The shell includes aluminum and a dopant, and the dopant is yttrium, calcium, magnesium, lanthanum, niobium, titanium, copper, or a combination thereof. The aluminum and the dopant in the shell have a weight ratio of 90:10 to 99.9:0.1. The core-shell particle can be sintered to form a ceramic bulk.

  • Patent number: 11811021
    Abstract: A precursor structure is provided. The precursor structure has the following chemical formula: ( La 2 ? Zr 2 - x ? M x ? O 7 ) · 1 2 ? ( La 2 - y ? M y ? ? O 3 ) , wherein M is a trivalent ion or a pentavalent ion, M? is a bivalent ion, x=0-1, y=0-1.5, and the precursor structure includes a pyrochlore phase. Since the pyrochlore phase may be transformed into the garnet phase through a lithiation process and the phase transition temperature is lower (e.g., 500-1000° C.), the precursor structure may be co-fired with the cathode material (e.g., lithium cobalt oxide (LiCoO2)) to form a thin lamination structure. That is, the thickness of the solid electrolyte may be effectively reduced, thereby improving the ionic conductivity of the solid electrolyte ion battery.
