A glass coating composition may include a glass composition and a nanopowder. The nanopowder may include Zinc Oxide (ZnO) and may be added to a glass composition in 1 to 10 weight (wt %). The glass composition may include 20 to 40 wt % of phosphorus pentoxide (P.sub.2O.sub.5), a total of 15 to 30 wt % of aluminum oxide (Al.sub.2O.sub.3) and zirconium dioxide (ZrO.sub.2), a total of 10 to 30 wt % of sodium oxide (Na.sub.2O) and potassium oxide (K.sub.2O), 10 to 25 wt % of boron trioxide (B.sub.2O.sub.3), and 10 to 15 wt % of zinc oxide (ZnO).

A sandwich-structured dielectric material for pulse energy storage is provided as well as a preparation method thereof. Employing a sandwich structure and combining the properties of ceramic-glass materials prepares a high performance dielectric material for pulse energy storage, in which the ceramic dielectric is core-shell structured powder of Ba.sub.xSr.sub.1-xTiO.sub.3 coated with SiO.sub.2, and the glass material is alkali-free glass AF45, of which the chemical composition is 63% SiO.sub.2-12% BaO-16% B.sub.2O.sub.3-9% Al.sub.2O.sub.3. AF45 alkali-free glass paste is spin-coated on both sides of the ceramic and calcined to get a layer-structured material of glass-ceramic-glass.

A method of forming a solid, dense, hermetic lithium-ion electrolyte membrane comprises combing an amorphous, glassy, or low melting temperature solid reactant with a refractory oxide reactant to form a mixture, casting the mixture to form a green body, and sintering the green body to form a solid membrane. The resulting electrolyte membranes can be incorporated into lithium-ion batteries.
