Solid ion-conductive electrolyte body and method of forming

A solid ion-conductive electrolyte body comprises a solid ion-conductive electrolyte portion with opposite major faces, a textured surface on at least one major face of the body thereby providing an increased surface area, and the textured surface with a plurality of spaced apart bores.

A method of forming a solid ion-conductive electrolyte body with an increased surface area which comprises a green compact of solid ion-conductive electrolyte material with opposite major faces, texturing the surface of at least one major face of the material, and sintering the material to form a solid ion-conductive electrolyte body.
