Abstract

The electrical conductivities of several perovskite-type lithium ion conductors in the Li-Sr-Nb-Ta-Ti-O system have been investigated. The Li +-ion conductivities of the Ta-compounds were found to be higher than those of the corresponding Nb-compounds, i.e., Li0.3 Sr 0.6 Ta0..5 Ti0..5 O3 exhibits a bulk ionic conductivity of 1.7 × 10-4 S/cm at 30 °C, while Li0 3 Sr0 6 Nb0.5 Ti 0 5O3 shows a value of 5.4 × 10 ̃6 S/cm at the same temperature. Substitution of Fe in Li 0 3Sr0 6Ta0 5Ti0 5O3 decreases the Li +-ion conductivity slightly. The operation of a monolithic (single element) electrochromic devices was demonstrated using perovskite-type Li 0.3Sr0.6B0.5Ti0.5O3 (B = Nb, Ta). The tantalum compound exhibited the largest coloration at the positive electrode side by the application of a voltage of 1.5 V and was bleached under short-circuit conditions at 350 °C.
