Abstract
A process for forming cubic LLZO through the use of atomic mixing of metal salts used in an aerosol process. The cubic LLZO is formed at temperatures below 1000° C.
Claims17
A method, comprising:
- mixing nitrate salts comprising lanthanum nitrate, lithium nitrate, aluminum nitrate, and zirconium nitrate;
- forming a feed solution comprising a dopant with the metal salts to in a solvent;
- generating a droplet from the feed solution;
- converting the droplet to a powder;
- and
- calcining the powder at a temperature less than 1000° C., forming cubic LLZO.

A method, comprising:
- forming a feed solution comprising an aluminum dopant, lanthanum precursor, lithium precursor, and zirconium precursor;
- generating a plurality of droplets 2-10 microns in diameter;
- exposing the plurality of droplets to a flame;
- converting at least a portion of the plurality of droplets to particles, forming a powder;
- and
- calcinating powder at a calcine temperature of 650° C. to 1000° C. to form a cubic LLZO.
