Garnet type LLZTO ceramic oxide is a promising solid-state electrolyte for use in Li-ion batteries because it has good chemical stability, adequate mechanical strength. However, lithium dendrite growth still needs to be addressed. The opacity of the solid electrolyte hinders in-situ investigation of dendrite growth. Therefore, semi-transparent LLZTO with high-density is needed. The traditional fabrication process for the garnet type LLZTO is cumbersome, and dense LLZTO disks with high transparency are difficult to fabricate. In this work, Al-LLZTO powder was made by solid-state reaction. A wet ceramic processing method, pressure filtration followed by sintering, was developed to make dense LLZTO with high ionic conductivity (1.47 x 10(-4) S/cm) and adequate transmittance (17-23%) to visible light from 500 to 800 nm to observe and monitor dendrite growth.
