Abstract
Perovskite structured (ABO,) lithium lanthanum titanate (LLTO) is a successful electrolyte reported by
several scientists in the recent past. It is believed that intercalation and de-intercalation of Li ions inside solid electrolyte
can be improved by increasing the porosity of the material. Hence in this research work, an attempt is made to increase
the porosity of the LLTO electrolyte by rapid-microwave synthesis route. The microwave prepared LLTO is compared
with the sol-gel synthesized LLTO. The prepared samples are analyzed with XRD, SEM, PL and cyclic Voltammetry
studies. Morphological analysis proves that microwave synthesized LLTO contains much pores compared to the Sol-gel
LLTO. A remarkable difference in its electrochemical property is also demonstrated and analysed with cyclic
voltammetric studies and the results are presented.
