LiTa2PO8 (LTPO) is a new solid-state lithium ion electrolyte material reported in the latest research, which has high bulk ionic conductivity and low grain boundary ion conductivity. However, it is difficult to density with conventional sintering methods. Herein, in this work, the solid-phase synthesis method was used to prepared the LTPO solid-state electrolyte, and the influence of the amount of lithium on the structure and performance of LTPO electrolyte material was investigated. The results show that the excess Li2O does not increase other impurities and does not change the structure of the material, but the liquid phase produced by the excess Li2O can promote the elimination of interfacial pores, accelerate the direct bonding of grains and improve the ionic conductivity of grain boundary, thus improving the overall ionic conductivity of the material. Considering the volatilization of lithium and the impact of liquid phase sintering at high temperatures and the content restructuring, after adding 20 wt% excess formulation of Li2O, the resultant of LTPO density is 5.0 g/cm3, the density reaches 85.58%. As a result, the total ionic conductivity of the electrolyte is 3.28 × 10–4 S/cm at 25°C, and the Li-ion diffusion activation energy is 0.27 eV. In addition, after loading this electrolyte into a Li–Li symmetric battery, it is proved that the electrolyte has lithium ion transport performance and can be used in all-solid-state batteries. However, it is also found from cyclic voltammetry (CV) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis that the interface between LTPO material and Li is unstable, and Ta5+ ions are reduced, which will be another key issue to be addressed in the future.

SiO2-doped Na+-β/β″-Al2O3 was synthesized via a solid-state reaction, and the relationship between the SiO2 content and properties of Na+-β/β″-Al2O3 was investigated. Respective specimens were doped with 0 – 5 wt.% SiO2 as a liquid phase sintering promotor and sintered. The specimens were characterized by XRD, SEM, densimeter and impedance analyzer. In the sintered samples, the phase fraction of β″-Al2O3 decreased as the SiO2 content increased, whereas the relative sintered density was enhanced with the inclusion of less than 0.7 wt.% SiO2. The relative sintered density of Na+- β/β″-Al2O3 sintered specimen with 0.7 wt.% SiO2 doping reached 99.2 % of the theoretical density and the sintered density decreased when the amount of SiO2 was larger than 1 wt.% result from excessive liquid-phase formation during sintering. Similarly, the ionic conductivity of SiO2-doped Na+-β/β″-Al2O3 was enhanced by doping with a small amount of SiO2, whereas the addition of more than 1 wt.% SiO2 negatively affected the ionic conductivity of Na+-β/β″-Al2O3 due to a decrease in the sintered density and unfavorable phase relationship.

Sodium super ionic conductor (NASICON)-type Na3Zr2Si2PO12 (NZSP) with the advantages of the high ionic conductivity, stability and safety is one of the most famous solid-state electrolytes. NZSP, however, requires the high sintering temperature about 1200 °C and long sintering time in the conventional solid-state reaction (SSR) method. In this study, the liquid-phase sintering (LPS) method was applied to synthesize NZSP with the use of NaPO3 glass with a low glass transition temperature of 292 °C. The formation of NZSP was confirmed by X-ray diffraction analyses in the samples obtained by the LPS method for the mixture of Na2ZrSi2O7, ZrO2, and NaPO3 glass. The sample sintered at 1000 °C for 10 h exhibited a higher Na+ ion conductivity of 1.81 mS/cm at 100 °C and a lower activation energy of 0.18 eV compared with the samples prepared by the SSR method. It is proposed that a new LPE method is effective for the synthesis of NZSP and the NaPO3 glass has a great contribution to the Na+ diffusion at the grain boundaries.

Dense ceramics are produced from fly ash from REK Bitola, Republic of Macedonia. Four types of fly ash from electro filters and one from the collected zone with particles < 0.063 mm were the subject of this research. Consolidation was achieved by pressing (P= 133 MPa) and sintering (950, 1000, 1050 and 11000C and heating rates of 3 and 100/min). Densification was realized by liquid phase sintering and solid state reaction where diopside [Ca(Mg,Al)(Si,Al)2O6] was formed. Ceramics with optimal properties (porosity 2.96?0.5%, bending strength - 47.01?2 MPa, compressive strength - 170 ?5 MPa) was produced at 1100?C using the heating rate of 10?C/min.
