Garnet-type Solid-state Electrolyte Li₇La₃Zr₂O₁₂: Crystal Structure, Element Doping and Interface Strategies for Solid-state Lithium Batteries

Abstract

The continuous development of solid-state electrolytes(SSEs) has stimulated immense progress in the development of all-solid-state batteries(ASSBs). Particularly, garnet-typed SSEs in formula of Li₇La₃Zr₂O₁₂(LLZO) are fctivity(<1 mS/cm), wide electrochemical window(<5 V), and good chemical electrochemical stability for lithium, which are critical factors to ensure a stable, and high performance ASSBs. This review will focus on the challenges related to LLZOs-based electrolyte, and update the recent developments in structural design of LLZOs, which are discussed in three major sections: (i) crystal structure and the lithium-ion transport mechanism of LLZO; (ii) single-site and multi-site doping of Li sites, La sites and Zr sites to enhance Li ions conductivity(LIC) and stability of LLZO; (iii) interface strategies between electrodes and LLZO to decrease interface area-specific resistance(ASR).
