| Abstract Scope |
Additive manufacturing offers a route towards the fabrication of geometrically complex ceramic battery components that cannot be achieved through conventional processing methods. This work presents recent progress in the Digital Light Processing (DLP) additive manufacture of sodium-beta-alumina solid electrolytes and sodium titanate-based anode materials for sodium-ion energy storage. High solids-loading photocurable ceramic suspensions were developed and optimised to achieve the rheological behaviour, dispersion stability, and curing response required for vat photopolymerisation. The work focuses on suspension formulation, printability, thermal processing, and phase stability following sintering. Particular attention is given to the processing challenges associated with sodium-based ceramics, including light scattering effects, suspension stability, and densification behaviour. The work demonstrates the potential of DLP as a manufacturing route for architected sodium-ion battery materials and future all-solid-state ceramic energy storage systems. |
