Article Preview

Abstract:

In this work, new solid electrolyte Li1+xAlxTi2-x-yTay(PO4)3 (x = 0.3; y = 0.04) was prepared by solid state method at sintering temperature of 900 °C for 6 hours. The prepared material was characterised by thermogravimetric analysis, X-ray powder diffraction, fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The ionic conductivity was investigated by impedance spectroscopy at room temperature. The single phase has been observed due to tantalum substitution which leads total conductivity of σ = 1.35 x 10-4 Scm-1.
