"garnet-type oxide solid electrolyte air-handleable LLZO simultaneously enhancing surface/ internal properties, preventing/ mitigating contaminant layers... hydrophobic compound Li-Al-O on surface/ inside, so any contamination barely reacts with moisture in air, preventing spreading internally, improving contact and wettability with lithium metal, enabling ~3.43 μm batteries... low ~ 0.176 anode to cathode capacity ratio through simple wetting process without complex post-processing... decreased battery weight, volume"
