Tetragonal phase-free crystallization of highly conductive nanoscale cubic garnet (Li6.1Al0.3La3Zr2O12) for all-solid-state lithium-metal batteries
JOURNAL OF POWER SOURCES(2024)
摘要
The synthesis and processing of garnet -type conductors is usually done at temperatures above 1100 degrees C to reach the high Li -ion conducting cubic phase resulting in micron -sized particles and potential Li -loss, which are unfavorable for further processing and electrode -electrolyte assembly. Here, we tackle this problem and report a novel low -temperature aqueous synthesis route to stabilize the cubic phase of Li6.1Al0.3La3Zr2O12 (c-Al-LLZO) at a temperature as low as 600 degrees C, while obtaining nano -crystallites at around 100 - 200 nm. Moreover, a dualreaction mechanism was proposed to describe the process of c-Al-LLZO crystallization. The as -synthesized nanoscale c-Al-LLZO particles facilitate the densification of the solid-state electrolyte (SSE) pellets with less endowed grain boundaries (exhibiting a high relative density of 97.8 %). The ionic conductivity reaches 0.42 mS cm -1 at 21 degrees C and the low activation energy (half of the published values) is 0.17 eV. The results presented here show that symmetric cells with Li metal exhibit excellent stability at the current density of 0.2 mA/cm2 and 0.5 mA/cm2, and an improved critical current density (CCD) of 2.16 mA/cm2. This work provides a feasible method of low -temperature crystallization of nanoscale cubic garnet SSEs with good performance for the fabrication of stable SSLBs.
