Abstract

The nominal Li concentration giving a maximum room temperature Li-ion conductivity σ Li ≃ 3.45 × 10 -4 S cm -1 with an E a ≃ 0.438 eV in the system Li 7-xLa 3Hf 2-xTa xO 12 fired in an alumina crucible at 1130 °C for 48 h occurs in the narrow range of x = 0.45 ± 0.05. The samples were prepared by solid-state reaction and characterized by XRD, SEM, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and 7Li MAS NMR measurements.
