摘要

Research into solid electrolytes with high stability and ionic conductivity is essential for developing safe, high energy density Li-ion batteries, with garnet type (Li7La3Zr2O12, LLZO) solid-state electrolyte being a promising candidate. However, its low room-temperature conductivity, high activation energy, and the requirement for high-temperature synthesis to achieve cubic LLZO limit its application. This study uses an optimized solid phase reaction method to prepare Nb-doped LLZO solid-state electrolyte by incorporating a variable ball milling duration, refined sintering conditions, and an optimized Nb doping concentration to systematically investigate its impact on microstructure and electrochemical performance analyzed using Raman analysis, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The results revealed that the optimum concentration of the Nb doping sintered at 1200 ℃ for 2 h achieved a high-performance Nb-doped LLZO solid state electrolyte as compared to undoped LLZO solid state electrolyte.
