Popis: The preparation of solid electrolyte ceramic membranes is the object of intense study for its fundamental parts in the development of all solid-state batteries and improved battery separators. In this work, the procurement of large area solid electrolyte ceramic thick film membranes of the Li-NASICON Li1.3Al0.3Ti1.7(PO4)3 (LATP) composition is attempted. Through the use of LATP powders from a sol&ndash
gel reaction, a slurry is formulated and tape casted. The green tapes are sintered using two sintering times. In both cases, ceramic thick films of a 5.5 ×
5.5 cm2 area and 250 µ
m average thickness were obtained. The characterization indicated almost pure phase samples with a bi-modal microstructure composed of large and smaller grains, being larger for longer sintering time. The samples are porous and brittle, presenting very high &ldquo
bulk&rdquo
conductivity but lower total direct current (DC) one, as compared with the commercial Li-NASICON (OHARA) thick films with a similar area. The larger the grains, the poorer the total conductivity and the mechanical properties of the thick-films. The formation of poorly adhering grain boundaries as the grain size grows is responsible for the worsened properties. A better control of the microstructure is mandatory.
