Microwave sintering

3. Oral presentation

In this work, microwave sintering is demonstrated as a fast and efficient approach to obtain competitive Li1.3Al0.3Ti1.7(PO4)3 (LATP) suitable for solid-state batteries. LATP pellets were shaped by combined uniaxial and isostatic pressing at four and five tons, respectively, with a green relative density of 71%. Densification was carried out by between 800 and 1100 ºC, revealing a sigmoidal...

Microwave sintering

3. Oral presentation

Lunar regolith can be used for construction of infrastructure such as landing pads, habitats and scientific labs required to support long-term future lunar surface missions. This study investigates microwave sintering of lunar regolith simulant, LMS-1, targeting three applications: (1) thermally insulating functional materials and (2) pellets as process materials in molten-salt electrolysis...
