20090004371 | AMORPHOUS LITHIUM LANTHANUM TITANATE THIN FILMS MANUFACTURING METHOD - An amorphous lithium lanthanum titanate (LLTO) thin film is produced by the sol-gel method wherein a polymer is mixed with a liquid alcohol to form a first solution. A second solution is then prepared by mixing a lanthanum alkoxide with an alcohol. The first solution is then mixed with the lanthanum based second solution. A lithium alkoxide and a titanium alkoxide are then also added to the lanthanum based second solution. This process produces a batch of LLTO precursor solution. The LLTO precursor solution is applied to a substrate to form a precursor layer which is then dried. The coating techniques that may be used include spin coating, spraying, casting, dripping, and the like, however, the spin coating technique is the preferred method recited herein. | 01-01-2009 |
20090092903 | Low Cost Solid State Rechargeable Battery and Method of Manufacturing Same - A solid state Li battery and an all ceramic Li-ion battery are disclosed.

20110053001 | IONICALLY-CONDUCTIVE AMORPHOUS LITHIUM LANTHANUM ZIRCONIUM OXIDE - Amorphous lithium lanthanum zirconium oxide (LLZO) is formed as an ionically-conductive electrolyte medium. The LLZO comprises by percentage of total number of atoms from about 0.1% to about 50% lithium, from about 0.1% to about 25% lanthanum, from about 0.1% to about 25% zirconium, from about 30% to about 70% oxygen and from 0.0% to about 25% carbon. At least one layer of amorphous LLZO may be formed through a sol-gel process wherein quantities of lanthanum methoxyethoxide, lithium butoxide and zirconium butoxide are dissolved in an alcohol-based solvent to form a mixture which is dispensed into a substantially planar configuration, transitioned through a gel phase, dried and cured to a substantially dry phase. | 03-03-2011 |
