Abstract
The oxide-based Li+ conductors are considered as potential solid electrolytes for lithium-ion batteries. Among the NASICON–type materials, Li1.3Al0.3Ti1.7(PO4)3 (LATP) seems to be a promising candidate for application. Although its bulk conductivity is of the order of 10−3 S · cm−1, and seems to be sufficient for practical use, the total conductivity is considerably limited by the highly resistant grain boundaries. This shortcoming may be overcome by the formation of LATP–based ceramics with appropriate sintering aids. In this study, the 0.75Li2O·0.25B2O3 (LBO) glass with low melting point was chosen to improve the ionic conductivity of LATP. The properties of Li1.3Al0.3Ti1.7(PO4)3–y (0.75Li2O·0.25B2O3) (0 ≤ y ≤ 0.3) system were studied by means of: high temperature X-ray diffractometry (HTXRD), 6Li/7Li, 11B, 27Al and 31P magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MAS NMR), thermogravimetry (TG), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), impedance spectroscopy (IS) and density methods. Based on the experimental results, it is shown that the use of LBO glass as a sintering aid results in the enhancement of the total ionic conductivity of LATP ceramics. The correlations between apparent density, microstructure, composition, sintering temperature and ionic conductivity are presented and discussed. The presumed mechanism of the conductivity enhancement is analyzed in terms of the brick-layer model (BLM). The highest value of the total ionic conductivity, equal to 1.9 × 10−4 S · cm−1, was obtained for LATP–0.1LBO sintered at 800 °C.
