This work describes the synthesis of Mg2+- and Li+-stabilized ?-alumina solid electrolytes (Na1.67Mg0.67Al10.33O17 and Na1.67Li0.33Al10.67O17 respectively) and investigates the influence of different Al2O3 precursors and stabilizers on their structural properties. The ?-alumina precursors were ?-Al2O3, ?-Al2O3, Pseudo-Boehmite (AlOOH·H2O) and Bayerite (Al(OH)3), with Na2CO3 as sodium source and MgCO3 or LiCO3 as phase stabilizers. The effect of composition and processing on phase purity and microstructure of sintered specimens was inspected by X-ray diffraction, simultaneous thermal gravimetry - differential scanning calorimetry coupled with residual gas analysis and scanning electron microscopy. Linear shrinkage evaluation was carried out by dilatometry. Furthermore, the influence of composition, structure and density on electrical properties was also investigated finding conductivity values up to 0.14 ?-1 cm-1 at 300 °C for Li+-stabilized ?-alumina.

Abstract

This work describes the synthesis of Mg2+- and Li+-stabilized ?-alumina solid electrolytes (Na1.67Mg0.67Al10.33O17 and Na1.67Li0.33Al10.67O17 respectively) and investigates the influence of different Al2O3 precursors and stabilizers on their structural properties. The ?-alumina precursors were ?-Al2O3, ?-Al2O3, Pseudo-Boehmite (AlOOH·H2O) and Bayerite (Al(OH)3), with Na2CO3 as sodium source and MgCO3 or LiCO3 as phase stabilizers. The effect of composition and processing on phase purity and microstructure of sintered specimens was inspected by X-ray diffraction, simultaneous thermal gravimetry - differential scanning calorimetry coupled with residual gas analysis and scanning electron microscopy. Linear shrinkage evaluation was carried out by dilatometry. Furthermore, the influence of composition, structure and density on electrical properties was also investigated finding conductivity values up to 0.14 ?-1 cm-1 at 300 °C for Li+-stabilized ?-alumina.
