Popis: One of the main technological challenges oxide-based solid-state batteries face today is the densification of their components to reach good interfacial contact. The most common approach requires co-sintering of the different components (electroactive material, catholyte and conducting additive) at high temperatures which often results in the inter-diffusion of elements that deteriorate the overall cathode performance. In this work, the impact of different carbon grades in the thermal response of LATP-NMC622-Carbon electrodes is evaluated and shown to significantly influence the chemical compatibility between components. By means of a combination of bulk and surface characterization techniques including gas adsorption, X-ray diffraction, X-ray absorption spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis, it is shown that carbons with low surface area are more adequate as result in higher oxidation temperatures and hence are less reactive.
