Abstract: A manufacturing system includes a tape advancing through the manufacturing system and a station of the manufacturing system. The tape includes a first portion having grains of an inorganic material bound by an organic binder. The station of the manufacturing system receives the first portion of the tape and prepares the tape for sintering by chemically changing the organic binder and/or removing the organic binder from the first portion of the tape, leaving the grains of the inorganic material, to form a second portion of the tape and, at least in part, prepare the tape for sintering.

Abstract: A lithium-metal battery includes: a cathode; a garnet solid-state electrolyte disposed on the cathode; and a lithium anode disposed on the garnet solid-state electrolyte, such that a modification layer is disposed at an interface of the lithium anode and garnet solid-state electrolyte, the modification layer comprising an inorganic lithium salt. A method of forming a lithium-metal battery includes treating garnet solid-state electrolyte with an acid solution; and exposing the acid-treated garnet solid-state electrolyte to hydrogen fluoride to form a modification layer atop the garnet solid-state electrolyte.

Abstract: A method of forming a solid, dense, hermetic lithium-ion electrolyte membrane comprises combing an amorphous, glassy, or low melting temperature solid reactant with a refractory oxide reactant to form a mixture, casting the mixture to form a green body, and sintering the green body to form a solid membrane. The resulting electrolyte membranes can be incorporated into lithium-ion batteries.

Abstract: The THz waveguides disclosed herein are used to transmit signals having a THz frequency in the range from 0.1 THz to 10 THz and include an alumina core surrounded by an optional cladding. The core may have a diameter (D1) in the range from 10 μm to 500 μm and may be comprised of a ceramic ribbon having a dielectric constant (Dk). The optional cladding may have a dielectric constant (Dk) less than the core. The THz waveguides can be formed using a continuous firing process and nano-perforation technology that enables access to a wide form factor range. In one example, rectangular waveguides, or ribbons, may be fabricated in the 10 μm to 200 μm thick range at widths in the range from sub-millimeters to several meters and lengths in the range from millimeters to several hundred meters.
