Abstract:
A method for producing a ceramic cathode layer on an electrically conductive substrate includes applying a coating to the electrically conductive substrate, the coating being in a form of a suspension including at least one suspending agent and at least one ceramic material. The method further includes heating the coating in a reducing atmosphere such that the ceramic material is completely or in part reduced to a fusible reaction product, heating the coating in a reducing atmosphere to temperatures above the melting point of the reaction product so as to form a melt, densifying or sintering the coating in a reducing atmosphere at temperatures that are 100° C. greater than a melting temperature of the reaction product, and reoxidizing the densified or sintered coating in an oxidizing atmosphere in a temperature range of between 400° C. and 1,200° C.

Claim (Index 8):
A method for producing a ceramic cathode layer, comprising lithium cobalt oxide, the method comprising:\n a) applying a coating to an electrically conductive substrate, the coating being in a form of a suspension including at least one suspending agent and lithium cobalt dioxide as a ceramic material, b) heating the ceramic coating in a reducing atmosphere such that the cobalt from the lithium cobalt dioxide is at least in part reduced to metallic cobalt and lithium carbonate is formed from the lithium, c) heating the coating in a reducing atmosphere to temperatures of more than 720\u00b0 C. so as to form a melt comprising metallic cobalt and liquid lithium carbonate, d) densifying or sintering the coating in a reducing atmosphere at temperatures of less than 1,000\u00b0 C., and e) reoxidizing the densified or sintered coating in an oxidizing atmosphere in a temperature range of between 400 and 1.000\u00b0 C., wherein the metallic cobalt is oxidized so as to form cobalt oxide and reacts with the lithium carbonate so as to form lithium cobalt oxide.
