Abstract

All-solid-state batteries (ASSBs) using inorganic solid electrolytes are one of the candidates of next-generation batteries. However, ASSBs suffer from various issues, most of which do not matter in conventional lithium-ion batteries with liquid electrolytes. In this chapter, mechanical stress in solid electrolytes are focused. First, we reveal that garnet-type solid electrolytes, Li6.5La3Zr1.5Ta0.5O12 (LLZT), prepared by the spark plasma sintering (SPS) method, exhibit a residual tensile stress of more than 100 MPa in the direction of uni-axial pressure during the SPS process, which was revealed by XRD (side-inclination method). Then, the influence of the stress on ionic conduction is studied. Detailed analyses reveal that the stress mainly influences grain boundary resistance with little change in the bulk resistance of LLZT. The results suggest the importance of mechanically strong grain boundaries (including interfaces) for practical ASSBs.
