LLZO
The leading oxide solid electrolyte, a garnet-structured Li₇La₃Zr₂O₁₂ stable against lithium metal. It conducts about 1 mS/cm but is brittle and needs sintering above 1000 °C, which drives its production route.
- Also called
- lithium lanthanum zirconium oxide, garnet electrolyte
Example
Electrolytes and separators: an example situation
Greater liquid uptake may improve wetting while changing mechanical behavior. Several properties define separator performance.
Read LLZO alongside Lithium metal anode in this context. A negative electrode made of lithium metal itself. It stores about ten times more charge per gram than graphite, which is the main attraction of solid-state cells, but it is reactive and prone to uneven deposits.
Use in Lemonergy
Connect transport with electronic isolation.
This is a reference concept. No executable Lemonergy block has been verified for this term.
