Abstract: Natural layered aluminosilicate Kaolinite Al4[Si4O10 ](OH)8 has been used as a starting material for preparing a new system of lithium fast ion conductors by high temperature(1073—1223 K) solid state reactions. X ray powder diffraction and a.c. impedance technique were used to characterize the compositions of the Li1+2x Alx Zr 2-x Six P3-x O12 system. A single pure solid solution phase with R3c space group can be formed in the composition range of x ≤0.4. A specimen with x =0.3 possesses a maximum ionic conductivity which reaches up to 1.03×10-2 s/cm at 723 K and the activation energy is 29.63 kJ/mol.
