Title: Lithium-Ion Mobility in Layered Oxide Li2(La0.75Li0.25)(Ta1.5Ti0.5)O7 Containing Lithium on both Intra and Inter‐Stack Positions

Journal Article · · European Journal of Inorganic Chemistry

With the aid of neutron diffraction and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, we have demonstrated the effect of the increase in lithium concentration and distribution on Li-ion conductivity. This has been done through the synthesis of a layered oxide Li2(La0.75Li0.25)(Ta1.5Ti0.5)O7, with the so-called Ruddlesden-Popper type structure, where bilayer stacks of (Ta/Ti)O6 octahedra are separated by lithium ions, located in inter-stack spaces. There are also intra-stack spaces that are occupied by a mixture of La and Li, as confirmed by neutron diffraction. The distribution of lithium over both inter- and intra-stack positions leads to the enhancement of Li-ion conductivity in Li2(La0.75Li0.25)(Ta1.5Ti0.5)O7 compared to Li2La(TaTi)O7, which has a lower concentration of lithium ions, located only in inter-stack spaces. Furthermore, the analyses of real and imaginary components of electrochemical impedance data confirm the enhanced mobility of ions in Li2(La0.75Li0.25)(Ta1.5Ti0.5)O7. While the Li-ion conductivity needs further improvement for practical applications, the success of the strategy implemented in this work offers a useful methodology for the design of layered ionic conductors.
