Abstract
Lithium superion conductors, Li3+2x(Sc1-xMgx)2(PO 4)3, Li3-2x(Sc1-xMx)2(PO 4)3 (M = Ti, Zr, Sn, Hf) and Li3-4x(Sc1-xMx)2(PO 4)3 (M = Nb, Ta) were prepared by a solid-state reaction. TG-DTA analysis indicated no phase transition in Li3+2x(Sc1-xMgx)2(PO4)3 and Li3-2x(Sc1-xMx)(PO4)3 (M = Ti, Zr, Sn, Hf) with x higher than 0.05, and in Li3-4x(Sc1-xMx)2(PO 4)3 (M = Nb, Ta) with x higher than 0.025. The room temperature ionic conductivity of Li3Sc2(PO4)3 has been increased by three orders of magnitude with the highest conductivity observed in Li3-2x(Sc1-xTix)(PO4)3 with x = 0.20 and in Li3-2x(Sc1-x Zrx)2(PO4)3 with x = 0.10. It was ascribed to the stabilization of the high temperature superionic conduction phase and the introduction of vacancies on the Li+ sites by substituting Ti4+ or Zr4+ for Sc3+.
