Li1+xAlxTi2-x(PO4)3(LATP) is a promising solid electrolyte for all-solid-state Li ion batteries. In this study, LATP isprepared through a sol-gel method using relatively the inexpensive reagents TiCl4. The thermal behavior, structuralcharacteristics, fractured surface morphology, ion conductivity, and activation energy of the LATP sintered bodies areinvestigated by TG-DTA, X-ray diffraction, FE-SEM, and by an impedance method. A gelation powder was calcined at 500oC.A single crystalline phase of the LiTi2(PO4)3(LTP) system was obtained at a calcination temperature above 650oC. The obtainedpowder was pelletized and sintered at 900oC and 1000oC. The LTP sintered at 900~1000oC for 6 h had a relatively low apparentdensity of 75~80%. The LATP(x=0.3) pellet sintered at 900oC for 6 h was denser than those sintered under other conditionsand showed the highest ion conductivity of 4.50×10−5S/cm at room temperature. However, the ion conductivity of LATP(x=0.3) sintered at 1000oC decreased to 1.81×10−5S/cm, leading to Li volatilization and abnormal grain growth. For LATPsintered at 900oC for 6 h, x=0.3 shows the lowest activation energy of 0.42eV in the temperature range of room temperatureto 300oC.
