Preparation of powders and films of the lithium ion conducting solid electrolyte Li1.3Al0.3Ti1.7(PO4)3

Abstract

This paper describes a process for the preparation of powders and films of the lithium ion conducting solid electrolyte Li1.3Al0.3Ti1.7(PO4)3 from peroxide solutions. The use of peroxide solutions ensures the preparation of Li1.3Al0.3Ti1.7(PO4)3 with a room-temperature electrical conductivity of (4–5) × 10−4 S/cm by calcining a precursor at 800°C. The synthesized Li1.3Al0.3Ti1.7(PO4)3 powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction, thermal analysis (DTA/TG), and ionic and electronic conductivity measurements. The growth of Li1.3Al0.3Ti1.7(PO4)3 solid electrolyte films is described.
