Enhancing ionic conductivity of Li0.35La0.55TiO3 ceramics by introducing Li7La3Zr2O12
Li7La3Zr2O12 (LLZO) powder was mixed with and thus introduced into Li0.35La0.55TiO3 (LLTO) ceramics. After high-temperature sintering LLZO phase disappeared. The cooperative introduction of Li, La and Zr elements into LLTO might modify the grain boundary region and thus change the electrical properties of the grain boundary, leading to the conductivity enhancement. The LLTO ceramics sintered at 1350 degrees C with 10 wt% LLZO powder introduced in the starting materials exhibit a high total conductivity of near 10(-4) S/cm and a grain boundary conductivity of 1.1 x 10(-4) S/cm at room temperature.
