Classification: CPC C  B | IPC B  C

Claim 7:
8. A system comprising:
a heating chamber configured to apply a thermal shock to one or more solution-based salt precursors by heating at a first temperature for a first time and subsequently quenching at a cooling rate;
a first storage roll from which a continuous substrate is dispensed;
a first container storing the one or more solution-based salt precursors therein; and
a controller operatively coupled to the heating chamber and configured to control operation thereof to apply the thermal shock to the one or more solution-based salt precursors,
wherein the controller is configured to control the heating chamber such that:
the first temperature of the thermal shock is in a range of 500-3000 K,
the first time is in a range of 1 millisecond to 1 minute, and
the cooling rate is in a range of 10 K/s to 106 K/s, and

consecutive portions of the continuous substrate are conveyed from the first storage roll to the first container prior to the heating chamber so as to deposit the one or more solution-based salt precursors on respective surfaces of the consecutive portions of the continuous substrate.
