摘要

Li7La3Zr2O12 (LLZO) garnet ceramics co-doped with Ta5+ and Bi3+ were synthesized via a conventional solid-state reaction method and systematically investigated for their structural, photoluminescence, and dielectric properties. X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that the synthesized samples predominantly exhibit the tetragonal garnet-type LLZO phase, accompanied by minor secondary phases. Microstructural analysis using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and selected area electron diffraction (SAED) revealed well-defined crystalline domains, while x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) confirmed the presence of Li, La, Zr, Ta, O, and Bi within the host lattice. Photoluminescence measurements under 236 nm excitation exhibited a prominent yellow emission centered at ~558 nm attributed to the Bi3+ (3P1 → 1S0) transition. In contrast, weak blue emission from the host lattice is associated with oxygen-vacancy-related defect states. The emission characteristics were found to depend on Bi3+ concentration due to concentration quenching. Dielectric measurements demonstrated frequency-dependent polarization behavior with relatively low dielectric loss at higher frequencies. The results indicate that Bi3+-activated Ta-stabilized LLZO ceramics exhibit tunable optical emission and stable dielectric response, highlighting their potential as multifunctional materials for electronic and optoelectronic applications.
