Abstract
Impedance spectroscopy and 7Li NMR have been applied to characterize the lithium conducting glass-ceramics membranes of the Li1.5Al0.5Ge1.5(PO4)3 composition with the NASICON-type structure. The 7Li NMR spectra and T1 relaxation times have been compared for the precursor glass and two glass-ceramics annealed for 2 and 6 hours, and analysed with respect to the ionic conductivity in these materials. The 7Li static NMR spectra reveal two components in the glass-ceramics samples: A quadrupole pattern with CQ of 38.7 kHz and 32.5 kHz, and a narrow signal of the Lorentzian or Gaussian lineshape for the samples annealed for 2 and 6 hours, respectively. Variation of the lineshape and the deconvolution parameters point out to the modification of the NASICON framework in the former, which affects the conductivity channels towards improved movement of lithium ions. The NMR data correlate with the conductivity measurements demonstrating enhanced ionic mobility in the glass-ceramics annealed for 2 hours. The 7Li NMR relaxation data seem to be very sensitive to the species with different mobility and reveal the presence of an additional minor component, which can be responsible for decrease of conductivity at longer thermal treatment.
