Ga-Doped LLZO Solid-State Electrolyte with Unique "Plate-like" Morphology Derived from Water Hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) Aquatic Weed: Waste to Wealth Conversion.

ABSTRACT: An attempt has been made for the first time to convert waste biomass such as water hyacinth (WH) to a functional energy material in a cost-effective way. The present research describes a novel exo-templating methodology to develop engineered microstructure of Ga-doped Li₇La₃Zr₂O₁₂ (Li_6.25La₃Ga_0.25Zr₂O₁₂, referred as WH-Ga-LLZO) solid-state electrolyte for its use in all solid-state lithium batteries (ASSLBs) by mimicking the intercellular structure of water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes), an invasive and noxious aquatic plant. The developed exo-templated methodology offers a low calcination temperature of 1000 °C in air where all the major peaks could be indexed as cubic garnet, as co
