Product Development Pathway
(4 R&D Concepts)
Two-stage atmosphere-staged sintering that separates precursor stabilization from cubic-phase conversion, targeting phase-pure garnet powder at industrial batch scale.
In-situ conversion of the garnet particle surface into a covalently bonded coating, countering both interfacial passivation and binder incompatibility during electrode fabrication in a single processing step. Further concepts address continuous roll-to-roll membrane casting of oxide/polymer composites, where slurry stability and film uniformity govern line throughput, and an anode-free architecture in which the electrolyte formulation, rather than an engineered interlayer on the collector, is tasked with directing uniform lithium plating.
Potential Synergies to Deliver Well-Rounded Cells for Application
A vertically integrated powder-to-cell pathway in which each processing step conditions the next – phase-pure oxide feeding a binder-stable casting line and a plated-lithium interface – aligning material purity, membrane manufacturability and volumetric energy density.
