LOW RESISTANCE CATHODE FOR SOLID-STATE BATTERY

A cathode is provided that includes a lithium-ion conductive material, at least one carbon support structure at least partially embedded within the lithium-ion conductive material, and cathode active material particles. The cathode active material particles are provided within and on a surface of each of the at least one carbon support structure. A solid-state battery is also provided that includes the cathode in which cathode active materials are provided within and on a surface of each of the at least one carbon support structure, and the at least one carbon support structure is at least partially embedded within the lithium-ion conductive material.
