Abstract
LiFePO4 (LFPO)-based composite cathode was deposited on Li0.35La0.55TiO3 (LLTO) solid electrolyte via slurry coating method. A composite cathode comprising of LiFePO4, LLTO, and carbon black (CB) were mixed together in a slurry and deposited on a dense LLTO pellet substrate. The effects of heat treatment temperature and hot-pressing in the structure and densification of the deposited composite cathode were investigated. Cathode component precursors were analyzed for its particle size distribution using particle size analyzer and revealed a bimodal particle size distribution for each component materials. Structural characterization using X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) analysis revealed that distinct XRD peaks were observed which can be attributed to LFPO and LLTO for the deposited as-dried and heat treated (450 °C ) composite cathodes. Surface and cross-sectional SEM images revealed that hot-pressing provided denser morphology with smaller thickness as compared to the just as-dried and heat treated samples without the application of temperature with pressure.
