Spray-Flame Synthesis (SFS) and Characterization of Li_1.3Al_0.3−xY_xTi_1.7(PO₄)₃ [LA(Y)TP] Solid Electrolytes by Md Yusuf Ali, Hans Orthner, Hartmut Wiggers

“…Solid-state electrolytes for lithium-ion batteries, which enable a significant increase in storage capacity, are at the forefront of alternative energy storage systems due to their attractive properties such as wide electrochemical stability window, relatively superior contact stability against Li metal, inherently dendrite inhibition, and a wide range of temperature functionality. NASICON-type solid electrolytes are an exciting candidate within ceramic electrolytes due to their high ionic conductivity and low moisture sensitivity, making them a prime candidate for pure oxidic and hybrid ceramic-in-polymer composite electrolytes. …”
