We performed flux growth of LiCoO2/Li3BO3/Li6.75La3Zr1.75Nb0.25O12 composites with various composite ratio. Powder XRD profiles and cross-sectional SEM images revealed that individual LiCoO2 and Li6.75La3Zr1.75Nb0.25O12 single crystals were homogeneously dispersed in amorphous Li3BO3 matrix without formation of any sub-phase at the interphase even though the crystal growth process was performed under 1000 oC for 5h. The each crystals size and the relative density of the composite was increased as increasing time and temperature. The relative density was maximally 92%. Indicating that small amount of Li3BO3 plays a key rule for insulating the direct contact of LiCoO2 with Li6.75La3Zr1.75Nb0.25O12 as well as for assisting the enhancement of relative density of composites relied on liquid-state sintering principle. The Li ion conductivity of the composite with ca. 700 mm thick was 1.1×10-4 S/cm at room temperature, as evaluated by AC-impedance spectroscopy. We also characterized their all-solid-state LIBs properties.
