Popis: The crystallization mechanism and conductivity of lithium aluminum germanium phosphate [LAGP] glass–ceramics fabricated from Li 1+ x Al x Ge 2− x (PO 4 ) 3 ( x =0.0–0.7) glass system were investigated as a function of Al 2 O 3 additions. A non-isothermal analysis was performed to study the crystallization behavior of LAGP glass–ceramics at various heating rates (5–25K min −1 ) by the Kissinger equation and the Augis–Bennett equation, illustrating volume crystallization for the glass-ceramics. The crystal identification and microstructure in glass–ceramics containing various Al 2 O 3 contents were analyzed by means of XRD and FESEM. The main phase of the glass–ceramics was found to be LiGe 2 (PO 4 ) 3 , with AlPO 4 as the impurity phase. Additionally the highest total ionic conductivity (5.8×10 −4 S/cm) at room temperature was obtained when x =0.5 for Li 1+ x Al x Ge 2− x (PO 4 ) 3 ( x =0.0–0.7) glass–ceramics, suggesting that it was a promising electrolyte for practical application in all-solid-state lithium batteries.
