New approach for obtaining ceramic NASICON (Na${}_3$Zr${}_2$ (SiO${}_4$)${}_2$PO${}_4$) films sintered in situ by a sol-gel method, using spray deposition and Near-Infra Red Sintering

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. The first demonstration of NIR sintered ceramics at high temperatures (~1000${}^{\circ }$C).
