“…The component ratios of LATP:PVDF and PVDF:solvent were optimized in our previous publications to achieve the suitable IC/permeability trade-off and for the ease of the casting procedure; the ratios equal 45:55 and 15:85, respectively [ 34 , 35 ]. The as-synthesized ceramic pellets were manually ground in the agate mortar, followed by the intense ball-milling (SPEX 8000, Metuchen, NJ, USA) for 90 min in an agate vial with one milling sphere to achieve the mean particle size of about 1 μm, according to our previous report [ 35 ]. Simultaneously, 0.5 g of PVDF (M w ~534000, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Quentin Fallavier Cedex, France) was dissolved under magnetic stirring (400 rpm) in 3 mL of either DMF (≥99.8%, RusChem, Russia), DMSO (≥99.7%, Acros Organics, Branchburg, NJ, USA), or NMP (≥99.5%, Acros Organics, NJ, USA), all preliminarily dried with 3 Å sieves until c(H 2 O) < 25 ppm.…”
