Physical and electrical properties of Li1+xTi2-xAlx(PO4)3 and Li1+2xTa1-xAlx+1(PO4)3 electrolytes

Sodium superionic conducting materials (NASICON) are promising solid electrolytes for Li-ion rechargeable batteries. In this study, two compositions; lithium titanium aluminium phosphate (LTAP), Li1+xTi2-xAlx(PO4)3 (x = 0.0, 0.2, 0.6, 1.0) and lithium tantalum aluminium phosphate (LTaAP), Li1+2xTa1-...
