B2O3-added Li1.5Al0.5Ge1.5(PO4)3 (LAGP) glass ceramics showing a room temperature ionic conductivity of 0.67 mS cm-1 have been synthesized by using a melt-quenching method. The prepared glass ceramics are observed to be stable in tetraethylene glycol dimethyl ether containing lithium bis(trifluoromethane) sulfonamide. The augmented conductivity of the B2O3-added LAGP glass ceramic has improved the plateau potential during discharge. Furthermore, the B2O3-added LAGP glass ceramics are successfully employed as a solid electrolyte in a Li-O2 battery to obtain a stable cycling lifetime of up to 15 cycles with the limited capacity protocol.

A quasi-solid-state lithium-oxygen battery constructed using a gel polymer electrolyte with an ionic liquid is proposed. The battery architecture incorporates a design feature that can be easily scaled up in size for use in large systems. The feasibility study demonstrates that the battery operates successfully for repeated discharge-charge cycles. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
