The stoichiometry range, crystal chemistry, ionic conductivity, and electrochemical window of the La 2/3 Li x Ti 1-x Al x O 3 system with perovskite-related structure have been studied. The range of the existence of the solid solution is (0.06 ) x ) 0.3). Powder X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy results show that these oxides have a unit cell multiple of the perovskite cell with dimensions a ≈ 2a p , b ≈ 2a p , c ≈ 2a p . The ionic conductivity of the materials and its dependence on composition and temperature have been examined by complex impedance spectroscopy. Lithium ion conductivity increases with increasing lithium content up to a value (7.6 × 10 -5 S cm -1 at room temperature) corresponding to x ) 0.25. Electrochemical experiments indicate that these materials can be used as solid electrolytes in secondary batteries having Li metal as the anode down to 1.6 V.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
