The effect of cubic-phase stabilizing dopant (Al, Ga, Ta) on the mechanical and electrochemical properties of Li garnet solid electrolyte was studied. Dense Li6.25La3Al0.25Zr2O12, Li6.50La3Ta0.50Zr1.5O12, Li6.25La3Ga0.25Zr2O12 were prepared by conventional solid-state synthesis of powder and densified using hot pressing. Ga-LLZO exhibited the highest fracture stress (similar to 143 MPa), fracture toughness (similar to 1.22 MPa m(1/2)) and total conductivity (similar to 1 mS/cm) of the three materials; however, the bulk conductivity was about 1.5 mS/cm. We believe that the weak grain-boundaries, as evidenced by a predominately intergranular fracture, correlates with a relatively high grain-boundary impedance, thus reducing the value of the total conductivity by about 30 % lower than that for the bulk. Based on the combined mechanical and electrical properties, overall, Li6.25La3Ga0.25Zr2O12 exhibits the most favorable combination of some of the most salient properties of the three dopants. We believe the results of this study will facilitate the commercialization of Li metal batteries using Li-garnet ceramic electrolyte.
