Abstract

The ac electrical conductivity properties of LiTi2(PO4)3 (LTP) polycrystalline material in two different crystallite sizes are compared. Micrometer sized LTP is prepared by conventional solid-state reaction. LTP crystallites of 71 nm size are prepared by solid-state reaction of 40 h planetary milled stoichiometric mixture. The XRD and SEM are used as characterization techniques. Electrical properties are studied using impedance spectroscopic technique. Ball-milled LTP shows one order increase in grain-interior conduction compared to microcrystalline LTP at 388 K. The increase in conduction results from decreased crystallite size.
