PREPARATION OF NANOSIZED CUBIC LITHIUM LANTHANUM ZIRCONATE FAST ION CONDUCTOR VIA FACILE POLYMER-CHELATE COMBUSTION ROUTE

Nanosized cubic lithium lanthanum zirconate is synthesized by forming a solution including an organic compound and compounds of lithium, lanthanum, and zirconium; drying the solution to yield a solid; and heating the solid in the presence of oxygen to pyrolyze the organic compound to yield a product comprising nanosized cubic lithium lanthanum zirconate.
