In this research, NASICON type (LiZrXTi2-X(PO4)3) glass-ceramics were fabricated (x = 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4). Lithium-ion conductivity along with the crystallization tendency and microstructural features examined in regard. Parent glasses obtained through melt quenching converted to glass-ceramic specimens after one-step heat treatment procedure. The resultant deeply explored by means of different...

INTRODUCTION Recently developed prototypes of zirconium dioxide and NASICON-based micro solid-state electrolyte oxygen (O2) and carbon dioxide (CO2) sensors were tested for their potential suitability in rebreathers. The O2 sensor has a quasi-indefinite lifetime, whilst that of the CO2 sensor is approximately 700 h. This is a preliminary report of a new technological application. METHODS The ...

Lithium-ion batteries are popular energy storage devices due to their high density. Solid electrolytes appear be a potential replacement for flammable liquid in lithium batteries. This inorganic/hybrid solid electrolyte is composite of bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (LiTFSI) salt, (poly(vinylidene fluoride-hexafluoro propylene) (PVDF-HFP) polymer and sodium superionic conductor (NASICON)-ty...

As typical solid-state electrolytes (SSEs), Na1+xZr2SixP3?xO12 NASICONs provide an ideal platform for batteries (SSBs) that display higher safety and accommodate energy densities. The critical points achieving SSBs with efficiencies are to improve essentially the ionic conductivity reduce largely interfacial resistance between SSEs cathode materials, which would necessitate extremely high level...
