Calcination

Firing the precursor with a lithium source — lithium carbonate or, for high-nickel materials, lithium hydroxide — at 700–900 °C in kilns to form the layered oxide. Atmosphere and temperature profile control the crystal quality.

LLZO

The leading oxide solid electrolyte, a garnet-structured Li₇La₃Zr₂O₁₂ stable against lithium metal. It conducts about 1 mS/cm but is brittle and needs sintering above 1000 °C, which drives its production route.

Solid electrolyte

A solid ion conductor that replaces the liquid electrolyte in an all-solid-state cell. Oxide, sulfide, halide and polymer families each need a different production route.

Stack pressure

Pressure applied to a cell stack, in production or in use, to keep its layers in contact. Solid-state cells depend on it, because ions can only cross where two solids touch.
