Abstract

A pulsed laser deposition system was employed to fabricate thin films of Li7La3Zr2O12 solid electrolyte. The deposition process was carried out at room-temperature, resulting in amorphous films. These as-deposited films had a large optical band gap of 5.13 eV, and exhibited a lithium-ion conductivity of 3.35×10−7 S/cm. The films were then annealed, and the effect of annealing on the optical and electrical properties of the films was examined. After annealing at 1000 °C, the films were found to be cubic with a narrower band gap of 3.64 eV. In addition, these annealed films showed an inferior ionic conductivity than the as-deposited ones.
