Abstract
Li1 + x Ti2 − x Cr x (PO4)3 NASICON-type materials have been prepared and characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and impedance spectroscopy. The results demonstrate that Cr3+ doping increases the ionic conductivity of LiTi2(PO4)3 within the single-phase region of the doped material, which extends to x = 0.7. From temperature-dependent ionic conductivity data, the activation energy for lithium transport through interstitial sites and the enthalpy of defect formation in LiTi2(PO4)3 are estimated at 30.0 ± 0.5 and 56 ± 1 kJ/mol, respectively.
