ALIOVALENT MULTI-CATION DOPING OF Li-GARNET FOR STABILIZATION OF CUBIC LLZO

Abstract

A lithium garnet material has the formula Li7-δLa3Z2z-x-y-zM1xM2yM3zO12, where M1 is one or a combination of (Y, In, Mg, Ca, Ba, Sc, Sr, Ru) with oxidation number (valence) lower than 4+, M2 is one or a combination of (Bi, Ta, Nb, Mo, Sb, Te) with oxidation number (valence) higher than 4+, and M3 is one or a combination of (Hf, Ti, Sn, Si) with oxidation number (valence) equal to 4+, subject to 0<x≤1, 0≤y≤1, 0≤z≤2, 0<x+y+z≤2, and −0.2<δ<0.2. Also provided is a lithium garnet material which is the same as the aforementioned lithium garnet material except that M1 is one or a combination of (Y, In, Mg, Ca, Ba, Sr, Ru) and M2 is one or a combination of (Bi, Ta, Nb, Mo, Sb, Te, W). Lithium oxide solid-state electrolyte materials have the same formula as the aforementioned lithium garnet materials but also include Ge for M3.
