Claim 11:
12. A method of making the ordered porous solid state electrolyte structure of claim 1, the method comprising:
a) depositing a solid state electrolyte precursor material to form a first layer of the solid state electrolyte precursor material disposed on a dense layer such that a first layer of ordered solid state electrolyte precursor material disposed on the dense layer is formed;
b) optionally, depositing a second layer of solid state electrolyte precursor material such that at a second layer of ordered solid state electrolyte precursor material is formed, wherein the second layer of ordered solid state electrolyte material is disposed on a least a portion of the first layer of ordered porous solid state material;
c) optionally, waiting a predetermined amount of time and/or heating the layer;
d) optionally, repeating the depositing from b), and, optionally, the waiting from c), a desired number of times; and
e) optionally, drying the layer(s) of ordered solid state electrolyte precursor material after all of the solid state electrolyte precursor material layers are deposited; and
f) heating the dried layer(s) of ordered solid state electrolyte precursor material to form the first ordered porous microstructure.
