Pristine Interface between Lithium Lanthanum Zirconate and Lithium Manganese Oxide by Pulsed Laser Deposition

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Careful control of processing parameters yields bilayer films of the garnet electrolyte Li7La3Zr2O12:Ta and the cathode spinel LiMn2O4 with pristine interfaces. No interdiffusion of elements occurs and no interfacial phase forms. Because fully lithiated LiMn2O4 has a voltage of ≈3.7 V versus Li+/Li, the observation of a well‐defined interface indicates
