Fig. 1 shows crystal structure of cubic garnet-type Li7La3Zr2O12 (LLZO, left) and temperature dependence of ionic conductivity for Ba- and Ta-substituted LLZO with different compositions.
Electrolytes are like membranes that ... The loss of gallium can cause the lithium garnet to change its structure and decrease ionic conductivity. Conversely, aluminum-doped LLZO remains intact.
