1. A method for manufacturing a lithium-ion conductive functional layer for a lithium cell, comprising:
applying particles of at least one ceramic material to a carrier by depositions; wherein the functional layer further includes at least one polymeric binder applied to the carrier by deposition, wherein the particles of the at least one ceramic material and the polymeric binder are deposited one of simultaneously or in alternation, wherein at least one of (i) the polymeric binder is lithium-ion conductive, (ii) the particles of the at least one ceramic material form uninterrupted lithium-ion conduction paths in the thickness direction of the functional layer, and (iii) the functional layer includes at least one lithium conducting salt, wherein the lithium conducting salt includes at least one of lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF6), lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (LiTFSI), lithium tetrafluoroborate (LiBF4), and lithium bis(oxalato)borate, wherein the lithium conducting salt is introduced into the functional layer after the deposition of the particles of the at least one ceramic material and the polymeric binder, and wherein the carrier is a carrier substrate which is removed from the functional layer with the aid of a delaminating or etching process, and wherein the functional layer is subsequently applied to a lithium film.
