Microstructural and Electrochemical Properties of Alkaline Earth Metal-doped Li Garnet-Type Solid Electrolytes Prepared by Solid-State Sintering and Spark Plasma Sintering Methods
2019
Li-stuffed garnet-type solid Li ion electrolytes have been considered as a promising candidate for all-solid-state Li batteries. In this work, alkaline earth metal-doped Li garnet-type solid Li ion electrolytes, Li6.5La2.5A0.5TaZrO12 (A = Ca, Sr, Ba) were prepared by conventional solid-state sintering (CSS) and spark plasma sintering (SPS) methods. The effect of sintering methods on the structural and electrochemical properties of the solid electrolytes was investigated by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Among the investigated compounds, Sr-doped garnet-type Li6.5La2.5Sr0.5TaZrO12 prepared by SPS method showed the highest Li ion conductivity of 3.08 × 10-4 S cm-1 at 20 °C and the lowest activation energy of 0.35 eV. Both Sr- and Ba-doped samples exhibited a critical current density of 0.15 mA cm-2, and the Sr-doped Li6.5La2.5Sr0.5TaZrO12 sample showed the lowest Li ion charge transfer resistance of 139 ohm cm2 at room t...
