Composite solid electrolytes based on Li7La3Zr2O12 for all-solid-state lithium power sources
Abstract
Currently development of all-solid-state lithium batteries are in great demand all over the world. Li7La3Zr2O12 (LLZ) compounds are considered as perspective solid electrolyte for such power sources. However, these solid electrolytes of garnet family have some disadvantages – high temperatures of ceramic synthesis, poor wettability by Li and low stability to air components. The creation of composite solid electrolytes based on LLZ is one of the ways to solve these problems. It was established that the temperature and/or sintering time of the solid electrolyte could be reduced by the introduction of different additives with maintaining lithium-ion conductivity values (10–5–10–4 S/cm at room temperature). It should be noted that the used sintering additive should meet the following requirements: low softening temperatures, high values of lithium-ion conductivity, stability in contact with lithium metal and absence of chemical interaction between components leading to the formation of low-conductivity impurity phases. Thus, the development of composite solid electrolytes based on LLZ is perspective for all-solid-state power sources.
