The Ionic Conductivity of Ultrafine Solid Electrolytes for Li4.4Al0.4Si0.6O4‐xY2O3 Systems

The Li_4.4Al_0.4Si_0.6O₄‐xY₂O₃ (x = 0 to 0.5) ion conductors were prepared by the Sol‐Gel method and examined in detail. The powder and sintered samples were characterized by DTA‐TG, XRD, SEM, and AC impedance techniques. The experimental results show that the conductivity and sinterability increased with the amount of excess Y₂O₃ in the silicate. The particle size of the powder samples is about 0.12 μm. The maximum conductivity at 16 °C is 2.925 × 10^?5s·cm^?1 for Li_4.4Al_0.4Si_0.6O₄‐0.3 Y₂O₃.
