abstract = {Ceramic solid-state batteries (SSBs) are attracting
significant attention worldwide as an alternative to
lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). As the organic electrolyte is
replaced by a ceramic electrolyte, unprecedented cell-level
safety, a greatly extended operating temperature range and a
potentially high energy density are expected. Li-ion
conductive oxide ceramics such as the garnet type
Li7La3Zr2O12 (LLZO) are promising solid electrolytes for
future lithium SSBs because they have sufficient ionic
conductivity up to 1 mS cm−1 at room temperature that can
be tuned by doping elements, can be processed in air, have a
wide electrochemical stability window, and have a high
stability to Li metal, enabling the use of Li metal anodes.
The garnet material is usually obtained in form of powders.
Therefore, a sintering step is required to densify the
powder and achieve good contact at the various interfaces,
which is critical for adequate electrochemical performance.
However, the high sintering temperatures, which can exceed
1000 °C for garnet materials, lead to the interdiffusion of
elements at the interface and the formation of undesirable
secondary phases. In particular, most common cathode
materials such as layered LiCoO2 (LCO) and
LiNi1−x−yMnxCoyO2 (NMC) or spinel LiMn2O4 (LMO) are
known to react with LLZO at temperatures as low as 400 °C
to 600 °C to form resistive secondary phases that
drastically degrade battery performance. Material
degradation during processing could be avoided by
kinetically controlling the sintering process and
drastically shortening the sintering times. Apart from
numerous undesirable material interactions, protracted
sintering at high temperatures is also energy consuming and
thus has a negative impact on production costs. New, fast,
scalable, and energy-efficient sintering technologies need
to be explored to demonstrate viable manufacturing routes
for oxide-ceramic batteries. The objective of this work was
to investigate the suitability of radiation-based sintering
processes for sintering garnet-based battery components.
Radiation-based sintering (photonic sintering) such as rapid
thermal processing (RTP) and laser sintering are non-contact
processes that combine extremely high heating rates with
short exposure times to selectively sinter the surface of a
sample. The light sources can range from high-power lamps
and flash lamps to lasers. Radiation-based sintering and
annealing processes are commercialized and well-established
for inorganic thin films, but have not been investigated for
ceramic garnetbased battery components, yet.},
