Abstract
The garnet-type oxide Li7La3Zr2O12 solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) are considered as a reliable option in all-solid-state lithium batteries (ASSLBs) due to its excellent properties. However, it still faces challenges such as limited ionic conductivity and low air stability. In this work, Ga3+ and Ta5+ co-doped samples Li7−3x−yGaxLa3Zr2−yTayO12 (GaxTay-LLZO) synthesized via the solid-state method are demonstrated to stabilize the cubic phase, regulate the concentration of Li vacancies in LLZO, and improving the Li+ transport channels. As a result, the Ga0.1Ta0.3-LLZO sample achieves a high conductivity of ∼1 mS cm−1. Furthermore, we discovered that in addition to the previously reported effects of decreasing grain boundary density and the inert LiGaO2 secondary phase at grain boundaries, the synergistic effect of introducing multiple dopant ions, which enhances lattice stability, is also a key factor contributing to improved air stability. Our findings demonstrate that co-doping strategy with Ga3+/Ta5+ is an effective method for simultaneously enhancing conductivity and air stability of LLZO, laying solid foundation for the application of SSEs in ASSLBs.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of the American Ceramic Society contains records of original research that provide insight into or describe the science of ceramic and glass materials and composites based on ceramics and glasses. These papers include reports on discovery, characterization, and analysis of new inorganic, non-metallic materials; synthesis methods; phase relationships; processing approaches; microstructure-property relationships; and functionalities. Of great interest are works that support understanding founded on fundamental principles using experimental, theoretical, or computational methods or combinations of those approaches. All the published papers must be of enduring value and relevant to the science of ceramics and glasses or composites based on those materials.
Papers on fundamental ceramic and glass science are welcome including those in the following areas:
Enabling materials for grand challenges[...]
Materials design, selection, synthesis and processing methods[...]
Characterization of compositions, structures, defects, and properties along with new methods [...]
Mechanisms, Theory, Modeling, and Simulation[...]
JACerS accepts submissions of full-length Articles reporting original research, in-depth Feature Articles, Reviews of the state-of-the-art with compelling analysis, and Rapid Communications which are short papers with sufficient novelty or impact to justify swift publication.
