Solution Overview

Problem

During the preparation of oxide solid electrolyte membranes, cohesive forces in the oxide solid electrolyte lead to issues such as overflow, cohesion, shrinkage, warping, and peeling, making it difficult to form a high-quality membrane on a carrier, and the mismatch in surface energy between the carrier and the electrolyte membrane causes difficulty in detachment.

Innovation Solution

The development of an oxide solid electrolyte carrier comprising a substrate, a functionalized bonding layer, and a silicone-grafted acrylic resin coating, which provides a matching surface energy with the oxide solid electrolyte, allowing for effective coating and adherence of the electrolyte membrane on the carrier.

This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.

Function Achieved in This Case

The proposed carrier system enables the formation of a high-quality oxide solid electrolyte membrane on the carrier without issues such as shrinkage, warping, or peeling, and facilitates easy detachment of the membrane from the carrier without causing structural damage.

Implementation Method 1
