abstract = {Solid electrolyte is the key component in all-solid-state
batteries (ASBs). It is required in electrodes to enhance
Li-conductivity and can be directly used as a separator.
With its high Li-conductivity and chemical stability towards
metallic lithium, lithium-stuffed garnet material
Li7La3Zr2O12 (LLZO) is considered one of the most promising
solid electrolyte materials for high-energy ceramic ASBs.
However, in order to obtain high conductivities, rare-earth
elements such as tantalum or niobium are used to stabilize
the highly conductive cubic phase. This stabilization can
also be obtained via high levels of aluminum, reducing the
cost of LLZO but also reducing processability and the
Li-conductivity. To find the sweet spot for a potential
market introduction of garnet-based solid-state batteries,
scalable and industrially usable syntheses of LLZO with high
processability and good conductivity are indispensable. In
this study, four different synthesis methods (solid-state
reaction (SSR), solution-assisted solid-state reaction
(SASSR), co-precipitation (CP), and spray-drying (SD)) were
used and compared for the synthesis of aluminum-substituted
LLZO (Al:LLZO, Li6.4Al0.2La3Zr2O12), focusing on
electrochemical performance on the one hand and scalability
and environmental footprint on the other hand. The synthesis
was successful via all four methods, resulting in a Li-ion
conductivity of 2.0–3.3 × 10−4 S/cm. By using
wet-chemical synthesis methods, the calcination time could
be reduced from two calcination steps for 20 h at 850 °C
and 1000 °C to only 1 h at 1000 °C for the spray-drying
method. We were able to scale the synthesis up to a kg-scale
and show the potential of the different synthesis methods
for mass production.},
