Lithium ion batteries are required improvement in safety and high energy density, because of wide applications from small-sized electrical devices to large-sized power sources.  Especially, all solid state Li-ion batteries (LIB) using solid oxide electrolyte have attracted attention as next-generation batteries without inflammable organic liquid electrolytes.  Among many candidates of Li-ion conducting oxide materials as solid electrolyte for all solid state LIB, the garnet-type Li7La3Zr2O12 is most suitable because of both high Li-ion conductivity and wide electrochemical potential window.  We recently focused on the Ta-substituted Li7La3Zr2O12 materials having a relatively higher Li-ion conductivity at room temperature.  We synthesized sintered body and single crystal samples of Li6.5La3Zr1.5Ta0.5O12 [1-3], and determined precise structural and electrochemical properties.  A relationship between the detailed Li-ion arrangement in the garnet structure and the Li-ion conductivity will be presented.
