The structure and Li conductivity has been investigated in the LiTiIn(PO) (0 ≤ ≤ 2) series prepared by the ceramic route at 900 °C. The XRD patterns of 0 ≤ ≤ 0.2 samples show the presence of rhombohedral (S.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFRhombohedral NASICON compounds with general formula LiTiSc(PO) (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.5) have been prepared using a conventional solid-state reaction and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and impedance spectroscopy. The partial substitution of Ti by Sc and Li in pristine LiTi(PO) increases unit-cell dimensions and the number of charge carriers.

Nuclear magnetic resonance is an excellent probe to follow Ti/Ge disorder, as it is sensitive to the atomic scale environment without long-range periodicity requirements. In the samples considered here, PO4 units are surrounded by four Ti/Ge octahedra, and then, five different components ascribed to P(OTi)4, P(OTi)3(OGe), P(OTi)2(OGe)2, P(OTi)(OGe)3, and P(OGe)4 environments are expected in (31)P MAS NMR spectra of R3̅c NASICON samples.
