"Calcium substitution to improve the total ionic conductivity of the Li" by Marc Bertrand, Laurence Groleau et al.

We report novel calcium-substituted perovskite-type solid state electrolyte with nominal composition Li0.344Sr0.433Ca0.02Ta3/4Hf1/4O3, which we compare with Li3/8Sr7/16Ta3/4Hf1/4O3. The compounds were synthesized via solid-state reaction and studied by X-ray and neutron powder diffraction and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Neutron powder diffraction allowed the Li position in the structure to be accurately determined. Calcium-substituted phase showed higher Li-ion conductivity than the analogous calcium-free phase obtained with our synthesis method. High total Li-ion conductivities of 3.6 ± 1.0 × 10−4 S cm−1 (Ea = 431 meV) at 30 °C were reached for calcium-substituted phase, and both bulk and grain-boundary conductivities increased compared to that of the calcium-free phase. The same experiment was conducted on Li0.344Sr0.433Ca0.02Ta3/4Zr1/4O3 and led to the same conclusion compared to Li3/8Sr7/16Ta3/4Zr1/4O3. Elemental analysis by energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) of Li0.3 ....
