Li 1 + x Hf 2 -x Sc x (PO 4 ) 3 (x = 0-0.3) NASICON type mixed phosphates have been synthesized and characterized by X ray diffraction, nuclear magnetic resonance, and impedance spectroscopy. The results demonstrate that the materials with 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.1 have a hexagonal structure, whereas in the range 0.1 < x ≤ 0.2 the materials consist of a mixture of hexagonal and orthorhombic phases. The x = 0.3 material has an orthor hombic NASICON structure. Doping with scandium leads to an increase in ionic conductivity in the range 0 < x ≤ 0.1.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
