| Sumario: | Ti-doped lithium zirconate (LZTO) sheets were successfully made by aqueous tape casting, by starting from an innovative colloidal synthesis route and optimizing the colloidal processing parameters. Zeta potential and particles size measurements, together with rheological characterization, were performed to adjust the slip composition. Then, the suspension with 1.0 wt% of ammonium polyacrylate dispersant (APA) and solid loading of 31 vol.% resulted in flat and flexible sheets, thinner than 450 µm, by adding 20 wt% of acrylic binder emulsion. After annealing at 1150 °C/15 h, LZTO sheets densified up to 85.5 %, presented a microstructure with grains of 6.4 µm in diameter, and exhibited electrical conductivity values in the order of 10−7, 10−6 and 10−5 S·cm−1 at 350, 450 and 600 °C, respectively. Besides, XRD phase analysis revealed monoclinic Li<inf>2</inf>ZrO<inf>3</inf> and minor ZrO<inf>2</inf> impurities originated from Li<inf>2</inf>O volatilization during sintering, but no sign of TiO<inf>2</inf> segregation, indicating the formation of Li<inf>2</inf>Zr<inf>1-X</inf>Ti<inf>X</inf>O<inf>3</inf> solid solution. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved. |
