الوصف: Lanthanum lithium titanate is one of the promising electrolytes for solid-state lithium-ion batteries due to its high bulk ionic conductivity up to ∼10−3 S/cm. However, the practical application of this material has been bottlenecked by high grain boundary (GB) resistance, while the underlying mechanism is still under debate. Here we report a comprehensive study with direct evidence to reveal the origin of high GB resistance in La2/3–xLi3xTiO3 (LLTO). Atomic-scale observations via advanced scanning transmission electron microscopy show that the GBs are uniformly subject to subsurface segregation of La atoms to compensate for the excess surface charges. The La segregation leads to an abrupt decrease of charge carrier concentration neighboring GBs and hence is supposed to have deleterious effect on GB conductivity. The findings suggest a novel mechanism of space-charge-induced cation segregation, which shed lights on the intrinsic origin of low GB ionic conductivity in LLTO.
