Li2−2xMg2xTiO3+x (0 ≤ 2x ≤ 0.1) powder was synthesized by solid-state reaction.
Phase analysis, microstructures and density of the ceramics were determined by
XRD, SEM and Archimedes' method. Impedance spectroscopy was measured to
evaluate the electrical conduction properties of the ceramics. The experimental
results showed that Mg entered into the lattice of Li2TiO3. Mg doping was
beneficial to the improvement of the sintered density and grain growth of the
Li2TiO3 pellets and resulted in the formation of vacancies, which were favorable to
the improvement of ionic conductivity of the system. The lithium ion conductivity
for Li1.9 Mg0.1TiO3.05 reached 1.07 x 10−3S/cm at 600C.
