Functional ceramic films with reticular structures prepared by electrostatic spray deposition technique

During the study of the electrostatic spray deposition technique, porous LiCoO2 thin layers with reticular structures were formed. This discovery has been successfully extended to many other important ceramic materials used in electrochemical devices such as LiMn2O4, LiNiO2, LiCoO2, Li3PO4, Li0.1BPO4, CoO, MnO2, TiO2, LaCoO3, and SnO2 . MnO2. The pore size of these layers can be varied by adjusting the feed rate and/or the composition of the precursor solution. These reticular films are expected to have various applications in electrochemical devices, catalysts, and inorganic membranes.
