Lithium Ion Conducting Solid Electrolyte Lanthanum Lithium Titanate (LLTO)
(Toho Titanium Co., Ltd.)

Summary

The LLTO crystal has a perovskite structure and is chemically very stable. In the future, it is expected to be applied to multi-layer solid state batteries and large cells for EVs. Low-temperature sintering and reduced resistance are key points in realizing co-firing with cathode and anode active materials as shown in the figure below. Toho Titanium is developing ways to meet these challenges.
