Abstract

Perovskite-type Li0.33La0.56TiO3 (LLTO) shows greater advantages than organic liquid electrolytes to be used in all-solid-state lithium-ion batteries with high energy densities. Ionic liquid [BMIM][BF4] was used to improve the properties of Li0.33La0.56TiO3 by attrition milling in this study. The microstructure, crystallinity and lithium-ion conductivity of the samples were measured by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and impedance spectroscopy (IS). The total ionic conductivities of the samples LLTO + x wt% [BMIM][BF4] increase upon adding [BMIM][BF4] and the maximum conductivity reaches 4.71 × 10−4 S/cm when x = 12.5 wt%. The enhancement of the total conductivity is ascribed to the bridging role of the ionic liquid among grains, as evidenced by the low activation energy of 0.17–0.25 eV and the SEM observation. The Li+ transference numbers of the hybrid samples are all lower than that of the pure LLTO, indicating the existence of electronic conductions. The hybrid material with a mixed conductivity and good stability in the atmosphere can find uses in all-solid-state lithium-ion batteries to improve the interface contact between electrolytes and electrodes.
