Novel LTP-glass-ceramic nanocomposites: assessment of electrical transport and structure

Abstract

These have been found to be significantly higher than that of the pristine LTP prepared with similar preparation conditions. Addition of glass-ceramic in LTP matrix leads to improvement in thermal activation of the composite at ambient temperatures, as suggested by dissipation factor trend. These composites exhibit better density than pristine LTP samples. Energy dispersive X-Ray spectroscopy (EDS) mapping on fractured surface confirms homogeneous elemental distribution. Cyclic Voltammetry (CV) results suggest that these composites are potential candidates for solid state battery applications
