Overview

Lithium Tantalum Oxychloride (LiTaOCl₄, commonly abbreviated as LTOC) is an advanced oxychloride-type solid-state electrolyte developed for next-generation all-solid-state battery (ASSB) research. Combining the high ionic conductivity of chloride electrolytes with the moisture stability benefits of oxide components, LTOC represents a promising alternative to conventional sulfide and oxide solid electrolytes for high-voltage lithium battery systems.

Product Specifications

Item Description
Name Tantalum-based Lithium Oxychloride Solid Electrolyte
Composition LiTaOCl₄
Ionic Conductivity 6–8 mS/cm
Storage Conditions Inert atmosphere, sealed, moisture-free
Compatible Cathodes LCO, Ni83, etc.

Key Features

  • High room-temperature ionic conductivity of 6–8 mS/cm
  • Wide electrochemical stability window, compatible with high-voltage cathodes
  • Improved moisture tolerance compared to sulfide electrolytes (LPSC, LGPS)
  • Stable against high-nickel cathode materials (LCO, NCM, Ni83)
  • Reduced grain boundary resistance for cold-pressed assembly
  • Suitable for room-temperature all-solid-state battery prototyping

Applications

LTOC is designed for cutting-edge ASSB research, particularly for studies involving high-voltage cathode pairing, interfacial stability investigation, and oxychloride electrolyte chemistry. It is widely used in academic laboratories exploring next-generation solid-state battery architectures beyond traditional sulfide and garnet systems.

Handling & Storage

Store under inert atmosphere (argon-filled glove box recommended) in sealed, moisture-free containers. While LTOC offers better moisture tolerance than sulfide electrolytes, brief air exposure should still be avoided to preserve ionic conductivity.

Packaging & Shipping

LTOC is supplied in vacuum-sealed containers under argon atmosphere. Standard research quantities (10g, 25g, 50g) available with custom larger quantities upon request.
