A cooling apparatus for an extruder includes a supply line configured to receive bulk coolant from a supply circuit via an inlet. The supply line delivers supply coolant to the extruder along a flow path. A return line communicates expelled coolant from the extruder, and a circulation line connects the supply line to the return line. The circulation line supplies a recirculated portion of the expelled coolant to the supply line and mixes the bulk coolant with the recirculated portion of the expelled coolant forming the supply coolant. A bypass line connects the supply line to the return line, and a flow control valve connects one of the supply line and the return line to the bypass line. A proportion of the expelled coolant to the bulk coolant forming the supply coolant is adjusted by the flow control valve to control the temperature of the supply coolant.

A cathode configured for a solid-state battery includes a body having grains of inorganic material sintered to one another, wherein the grains comprise lithium. A thickness of the body is from 3 μm to 100 μm. The first major surface and the second major surface have an unpolished granular profile such that the profile includes grains protruding outward from the respective major surface with a height of at least 25 nm and no more than 150 μm relative to recessed portions of the respective major surface at boundaries between the respective grains.

Cathode for a solid-state battery

A manufacturing system includes a tape advancing through the manufacturing system and a station of the manufacturing system. The tape includes a first portion having grains of an inorganic material bound by an organic binder. The station of the manufacturing system receives the first portion of the tape and prepares the tape for sintering by chemically changing the organic binder and/or removing the organic binder from the first portion of the tape, leaving the grains of the inorganic material, to form a second portion of the tape and, at least in part, prepare the tape for sintering.

Kneading elements, extrusion apparatus, and methods of manufacturing honeycomb bodies are described herein. A kneading element () has an inner surface () defining an opening () configured to couple the kneading element () to a shaft (). The kneading element () also has a continuous closed curve elliptical outer surface (). The opening () has an axis () that is off-center with respect to a geometric center () of the kneading element () as viewed in a transverse plane perpendicular to the axis.

Electrolyte for a solid-state battery includes a body having grains of inorganic material sintered to one another, where the grains include lithium. The body is thin, has little porosity by volume, and has high ionic conductivity.

Electrolyte for a solid-state battery

A system () and method to control rheology of ceramic pre-cursor batch during extrusion is described herein. An extrusion system () comprises an extruder () with an input port () configured to feed ceramic pre-cursor batch into a first section () of an extruder barrel and a discharge port configured to extrude a ceramic pre-cursor extrudate () out of the extruder barrel downstream of the input port (). A liquid injector () is configured to inject liquid into the ceramic pre-cursor batch. A sensor () is configured to detect a rheology characteristic of the ceramic pre-cursor batch. A controller () is configured (i) to receive the rheology characteristic from the sensor (), (ii) compare the rheology characteristic to a predetermined rheology value of the ceramic pre-cursor batch, and (iii) generate a command based on the comparison. A liquid regulator () is configured to receive the command and adjust liquid flow to the liquid injector () based on the command.

Apparatus and methods of ceramic pre-cursor batch rheology control

In-line inspection and control system to in-situ monitor an extrudate during extrusion. A light beam illuminates a line on the outside circumference of the extrudate skin recording the curvature. A master profile of the illuminated defect-free skin is recorded and compared to successive monitoring of the illuminated skin. Differences from the comparison indicate skin and/or shape defects. A real-time feedback to automatically adjust process control hardware reduces or eliminates the skin and shape defects based on the monitoring and comparison.

Methods of in-line extrudate inspection and feedback control for honeycomb body manufacture

An apparatus and method of manufacturing a porous ceramic segmented honeycomb body (') comprising axial channels () extending from a first end face () to a second end face (). A plurality of porous ceramic honeycomb segments () is moved axially past respective apertures () of an adhesive applying device (). Adhesive () is applied through openings () in the adhesive applying device () onto peripheral axial surfaces of each porous ceramic honeycomb segment (). The plurality of porous ceramic honeycomb segments () enters a wide opening () of a tapered chamber () and exits a narrow opening () of the tapered chamber (); a tapered wall () from the wide opening () to the narrow opening () presses the plurality of porous ceramic honeycomb segments () together forming the porous ceramic segmented honeycomb body (&#x2032;). The adhesive () on the peripheral axial surfaces between respective porous ceramic honeycomb segments () is distributed by the pressing.
