The continuity in all-solid-state lithium ion battery development is very important considering the growing demand for a reliable and safety improved energy storage device. In this work, a solid state electrolyte composed of Li2CO3 and LiI was successfully prepared using mechanical milling method followed by low sintering process. The optimized sintering condition of the solid electrolyte was at 60°C for 24 hours. From the measurement, the xLi2CO3-yLiI (x = 80, y = 20) solid electrolyte displayed the highest electrical conductivity of 1.03x10-3 Scm-1 at room temperature. The dissociation of LiI has provided supplemental charge carriers for ions transport in the solid, which much higher than that of the pure Li2CO3 sample. A noteworthy increase of ionic conductivity up to 1.75x10-3 Scm-1 was observed at room temperature with the presence of ZnO filler. The enhancement in electrical conductivity could be due to the interaction between ionic species and Lewis acid base group on the filler surface and hence, improve the dissociation rate of ions in solid. Incorporation of 9 wt.% MnO2 has successfully amplified the overall conductivity of the sample (3.87x10-1 Scm-1 ) by increasing the available charge carrier concentration and newly established percolation network for the migration of ions.
