Abstract
NASICON-type Li1.3Al0.3Ti1.7(PO4)3 (LATP) has attracted a lot of attention because of its high ionic conductivity and stability to air and moisture. However, the size effect of LATP primary particles on ionic conductivity is ignored. In this study, different sizes of LATP particles are prepared to investigate the morphology, relative density, and ionic conductivity of the LATP solid electrolyte. The influences of particle size and sintering temperature on the microstructure, phase composition, and electrical properties of LATP ceramics were systematically studied. The medium-sized LATP particle (2 μm) presents a great microstructure with a high relative density of over 97%, the highest ionic conductivity of 6.7 × 10-4 S cm-1, and an activation energy of 0.418 eV. The Li-Li symmetric cells and Li-LFP batteries delivering good electrochemical performance were fabricated with highly conductive LATP ceramics. These results make significant strides in elucidating the relationship between the particle sizes of LATP and its electrochemical performance.
