Abstract:

In this study, bulk lithium-ion conducting solid electrolyte of Ga-doped Li7La3Zr2O12 (Li7-3XGaxLa3Zr2O12) where x = 0.1 (Ga-LLZO) was prepared via hot pressing at 500 °C. Precursor powder for hot-pressing was prepared using conventional solid state reaction method. Planetary ball milling was employed to investigate the particle size effect on the structure and densification of hot-pressed samples. XRD patterns of the bulk hot-pressed sample revealed a crystalline phase of which the major peaks observed can be indexed to a cubic LLZO structure; however, a major impurity phase of La2Zr2O7 was observed for the ball-milled sample. Thermogravimetric and differential thermal analysis showed about 12% weight loss below 900 °C which may have affected the observed hot-pressing structure. Although lower density measurement and an impurity phase of La2Zr2O7 were observed for the ball-milled sample, ball-milling also resulted to a more homogeneous and finer particle size as shown by SEM images results.
