Composite setter plates are fabricated from an inert refractory material and a lithium source material, such as but not limited to Li-stuffed garnet materials which have the same, or substantially similar, compositions as a garnet Li-stuffed solid electrolyte. The composite setter plates, set forth herein, reduce the evaporation of Li during a sintering treatment step and/or reduce the loss of Li caused by diffusion out of the sintering electrolyte. The composite setter plates, set forth herein, also maintain compositional control over the solid electrolyte during sintering when, upon heating, lithium is prone to diffuse out of the solid electrolyte. |
