Abstract

In this work we demonstrate a NASICON film sintered in situ onto a fused silica substrate. This production method drastically reduces the manufacturing time by combining the use of a spray-coated sol-gel solution and near-infrared (NIR) ultrafast sintering technology. This is the first demonstration of NIR sintered ceramics at high temperatures (∼1000 °C).
