Abstract:The garnet-type ceramic electrolyte Li7La3Zr2O12 (LLZO) with composition of xAl2O3-Li7La3Zr2O12 (x=0-0.4) and xY2O3-Li7La3Zr2O12 (x=0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 and0.4) were synthesized by adding Al2O3 and Y2O3 as sintering aids and using Li2CO3, La2O3 and ZrO2 as raw materials. The effects of the contents of sintering aids Al2O3 and Y2O3 on the lithium ion conductivity of solid lithium ion electrolyte LLZO were studied. The results reveal that two kinds of sintering aids both can stabilize the cubic phase of garnet structure LLZO after sintered at 1 500 ℃ for 15 h. The LaAlO3 impurity phase is produced when Al2O3 is over added. The Li2ZrO3 and YO1.458 impurity phases are produced when Y2O3 is over added. Among these samples,0.2Y2O3-LLZO can stabilize the cubic phase from 1 100 ℃ to 1 200 ℃ and do not decompose when sintering at 1 150 ℃ for 27 h。The density of LLZO and the conductivity of lithium ion increase first and then decrease with increasing the content of sintering aids. The optimum additions of Al2O3 and Y2O3 are 0.2 and 0.3, respectively. The density and ionic conductivity of 0.2Al2O3-LLZO are 94% and 1.78×10-4 S/cm, respectively. The density and ionic conductivity of 0.3Y2O3-Li7La3Zr2O12 are 96% and 5.23×10-4 S/cm, respectively.
