FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE

The following is directed to an ion conductive layer, devices including the ion conductive layer, and methods of forming the same, and to, in particular, a solid ion conductive layer, devices including the same, and methods of forming the same.

DESCRIPTION OF THE RELATED ART

Solid-state lithium batteries are expected to provide higher energy densities and faster recharging times and cause fewer safety concerns when compared to conventional lithium-ion batteries by enabling a lithium metal anode. Uses of solid-state electrolytes have been demonstrated to help improve performance of lithium metal anodes.

The industry continues to demand solid-state batteries with improved performance.
