The ceramic system La2/3-xLi3xTiO3 presents as an interesting candidate to be used as an electrolyte in solid-state Li-ion batteries. In this paper the electrical response of the ceramic, La2/3-xLi3xTiO3 with x = 0.11 is reported. La2/3-xLi3xTiO3 nanoparticles were synthesized by high energy milling and sintered by Spark Plasma Sintering from an amorphous phase. After sintering, the samples were structurally characterized by XRD and Raman techniques. Measurements of complex impedance varying frequency from 1 Hz to 10 MHz and temperature from 25 °C to 270 °C were performed. The study of DC conductivity allowed us to find the contributions to the total conductivity, grain, and grain boundary of the samples. From the activation energy values, it was possible to determine the conductive mechanism corresponding to the mobility of Li+ ions.
