Simultaneous effect of Al<sub>2sub>O<sub>3sub> and Li<sub>3sub>BO<sub>3sub> additions on sintering behavior and Li-ion conductivity of Li<sub>7−ss="EmphasisTypeItalic ">xsub>La<sub>2.95sub>Ca<sub>0.05sub>ZrTaO<sub>12sub> (LLCZT) garnet electrolyte sintered at 900°C (10 h) is evaluated. The crystal phase and microstructure of the different composites were evaluated by x-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), respectively. Electrical properties of the composites with high relative densities (95%) were examined by impedance spectroscopy. The cubic phase was formed for LLCZT sintered with 0–0.21 mol of Al<sub>2sub>O<sub>3sub> and 0.70 mol–0.80 mol of Li<sub>3sub>BO<sub>3sub>. The excess of Al<sub>2sub>O<sub>3sub> (0.22 mol) led to the formation of secondary phases. SEM observation revealed the good interconnection between LLCZT grains and the distribution of the glassy phase formed by Li<sub>3sub>BO<sub>3sub> and Al<sub>2sub>O<sub>3sub>. Effective combination of 0.21 mol of Al<sub>2sub>O<sub>3sub> and 0.80 mol of Li<sub>3sub>BO<sub>3sub> produced denser material with high relative density of 95% and high Li-ion conduction of 1 × 10−4 S/cm at 32°C.
