Quantification of Contaminants and Proton Exchange in Garnet Phase Powders and Their Impact on Li+ Transport in Hybrid Electrolytes

Garnet-phase Li7La3Zr2O12 (LLZO) is a promising solid-state electrolyte in lithium metal batteries but suffers from contaminant formation upon exposure to ambient conditions. We use a suite of analytical methods to quantify this contamination and the resulting protonation of Ta-d...
