Solid electrolytes are intensively researched for the next generation lithium-ion batteries. Yet their ion transport mechanisms must be better understood to improve their still too low ionic conductivity. Especially distinguishing between contributions from intra grain and grain boundary processes proved to be particularly challenging. This is mainly due to similar time constants of both processes at room temperature, leading to a strong overlap of their impedance contributions.

In this work we use a distribution of relaxation times analysis (DRT) in two dimensions (2D-DRT) to increase the resolution of impedance data measured at Li1.3Al0.3Ti1.7(PO4)3 (LATP) solid electrolyte samples sintered between 950°C and 1100°C. The second dimension of the 2D-DRT is given by data measured at varying temperatures between 10°C and 50°C. With the 2D-DRT it is possible to quantify the resistances and thus the activation energies of the intra grain and the grain boundary ionic charge transport processes under realistic battery operation conditions. Moreover, the ionic conductivity within the grain and the grain boundary could be determined.
