정전기 분무 증착법으로 제작된 Lithium Lanthanum Titanate 박막의 광소결 전압에 따른 미세구조 및 화학적 특성 분석

All-solid-state batteries (ASSBs) utilizing non-flammable inorganic electrolytes are gaining significant attention due to safety concerns associated with conventional lithium-ion batteries. Among various oxide electrolytes, lithium lanthanum titanate (LLTO) demonstrates high ionic conductivity at room temperature but is prone to lithium loss at elevated sintering temperatures. In this study, we employed electrostatic spray deposition (ESD) at 250oC, followed by flash light sintering within milliseconds using a xenon lamp. This approach enabled the production of dense and highly crystalline LLTO thin films with minimal lithium evaporation. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis confirmed reduced porosity at 650V, while X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) revealed stable lithium content. Additionally, X-ray diffraction (XRD) indicated the formation of a cubic perovskite structure that is beneficial for ionic transport. This rapid and scalable process shows promise for producing high-quality LLTO electrolytes, thereby enhancing the safety and performance of next-generation ASSBs.
