Liquid-phase growth strategy densifies ceramic films at low temperature
Ceramic films are widely used in solid-state batteries, energy conversion devices and electronic systems. Their fabrication, however, often requires high-temperature sintering, which can cause elemental volatilization, compositional segregation and undesirable interfacial reactions. Achieving dense, compositionally uniform ceramic films at lower temperatures therefore remains a challenge.
