Abstract: The effect of B-Site aliovalent ion (Al, Cr) substitution on the ionic conductivity of Li3xLa2/3-xTiO3
was investigated. The results show that partial substitution of smaller Al3+ for Ti4+ is effective to enhance the ionic conductivity of Li3xLa{2/3-xTiO3.
At 300K, the maximum bulk conductivity of (1.58±0.01)×10-3S·cm-1 observed from the composition of (Li0.39La0.54)1+y/2AlyTi1-yO3
with y=0.02(x=0.13), is the highest yet reported for known perovskite solutions at room temperature. The conductivity enhancement is due to the
substitution-induced bond strength change rather than due to bottleneck size change for Li migration, TiO6-octahedron tilting or A-site cation ordering.

Key words: Li3xLa2/3-xTiO3, lithium ion conductor, ionic conductivity, perovskite
