text: Several synthesis methods exist to produce LAGP in the form of bulk pellets or thin films, depending on the required performances and final applications. The synthesis path significantly affects the microstructure of the LAGP material, which plays a key role in determining its overall conductive properties. Indeed, a compact layer of crystalline LAGP with large and connected grains, and minimal amount of secondary, non-conductive phases ensures the highest conductivity values. On the contrary, an amorphous structure or the presence of small grains and pores tend to hinder the motion of lithium ions, with values of ionic conductivity in the range of 10 - 10 S/cm for glassy LAGP.
  In most cases, a post-process thermal treatment is performed to achieve the desired degree of crystallinity.
