“…Grain boundary conductivity of LATP was found to be highly dependent on the sintering process, resulting in different particle size distributions (i.e., microstructure) and different impurity phases [8,10,11,14,[23][24][25][26]. The effectiveness of the LATP sintering process can be considerably improved by the use of appropriate sintering agents, such as LiF [14,27,28], Li 3 PO 4 [29], Li 3 BO 3 [24,29], LiBO 2 [30], LiBF 4 [31], LiNO 3 [32], Li 2 O [33], and Li 4 SiO 4 [this work]. These inorganic salts are known to affect the microstructure (lower porosity) and secondary phase formation, leading to higher total ionic conductivity.…”
