We investigated the Li-ion conductivity and crystal structure of the Ta-doped Li 7 La 3 M 2 O 12 (M = Hf, Sn) samples. All of the Tadoped samples exhibited a relatively high conductivity of ³10 ¹4 S cm ¹1 at room temperature, and the activation energies of Li 6.5 La 3 Hf 1.5 Ta 0.5 O 12 and Li 6.5 La 3 Sn 1.5 Ta 0.5 O 12 , which were determined from the Arrhenius plots in measured temperature range, are Ea = 0.400(6) and 0.451(1) eV, respectively. The crystal structure was analyzed by Rietveld method using powder X-ray diffraction data. From a view point of the LiO polyhedral volume in unit cell, Li 6.5 La 3 Hf 1.5 Ta 0.5 O 12 has a most suitable Li-ion environment among the Li 7 La 3 M 2 O 12 (M = Zr, Hf, Sn) compounds.
