Abstract [eng] The influence of the structure and elemental composition of lithium ions’ and oxygen vacancies’ (Vo) solid electrolytes (SE) on their electrical properties are investigated in the dissertation. The technological conditions of SE ceramics’ and films’ fabrication, which influence their microstructure, are described. The results of the investigation of the surfaces, temperature stability, and electrical properties are presented. Li+ SE belong to monoclinic, orthorhombic, or rhombohedral symmetries. The microstructure of the ceramics is mainly influenced by the temperature of their sintering. It has been shown by XPS that LiCe2/3PO4 ceramic is Li+-ion conductor. Complex impedance spectroscopy investigation showed that the increase of x in the systems Li1+xScxZr2-x(PO4)3, Li1+xZr2-2xAlxTix(PO4)3, and Li1+xGe2-2xAlxTix(PO4)3 (where x = 0.1, 0.2, 0.3) leads to the increase of bulk ionic conductivity of the ceramics and to the decrease of its activation energy. Phase transition temperature in Li3Sc2–xBx(PO4)3 compounds depends on x. The anomalies of temperature dependencies of bulk conductivity of Li3-xSc2-x-yYyZrx(PO4)3 system were observed when x = 0.1, y = 0, 0.1. The anomalies are related to superionic phase transitions in the materials, but no phase transitions have been detected for x = 0.2 compound in the studied temperature range. Ionic conductivity and its activation energy of YSZ thick films prepared by magnetron sputtering depend on their preparation’s technological conditions. Higher annealing temperature of NiO-CGO films prepared by spray pyrolysis causes bigger crystallites and higher polarization resistance of the film. Dielectric permittivity of Li+ SE ceramics and YSZ thick films increases with increase of temperature.
