The crystallization kinetics of 38.0CaO-38.0Al2O3-10.5BaO-6.5MgO-6.0Y2O3-1.0（Na2O＋K2O） （wt%） glass was studied by differential scanning calorimeter （DSC） and X-ray diffraction （XRD） techniques. Tile results showed that DSC curves of calcium aluminate glass have a single glass transition temperature followed by one crystallization peak for the heating rates β = 5 K/min and two crystallization temperatures T1 and T2 for β≥ 10 K/min. The activation energies of crystallization obtained from the Gao-Wang model of the first exothermal peak and the second exothermal peak of calcium aluminate glass are 340 and 662 kJ/mol, respectively. The Avrami exponents of the both crystallization peaks are approximately 2, indicating the two- dimensional crystalline growth during its transformation from amorphous to crystalline. Ca12Al14O33, Ca3Al2O6 and unknown crystalline phases firstly appear when calcium aluminate glass is heat-treated. With the extending of heat-treatment duration, BaAl2O4 phase comes out.
Abstract： The crystallization kinetics of Li20-A12O3-GeO2-P205 （LAGP） glass fabricated via the conventional melt-quenching method was studied by differential scanning calorimetry （DSC） under non- isothermal condition at different heating rates. The activation energy of glass transition Eg is 634.4 kJ/mol, indicating that LAGP glass is easy to crystallize at an elevated temperature. The activation energy of crystallization Eo and Avrami index n obtained from Matusita＇s model are 442.01 kJ/mol and 1.7, respectively. The value of n reveals that bulk crystallization predominates slightly over surface crystallization during crystallization process. LAGP glass-ceramics after different heat treatments have the same crystalline phases determined as major phase LiGe2（PO4）3, with A1PO4 and GeO2 as their impurity phases.

A lithium ion conductive solid electrolyte, L20-AI203-TiO2-SiO2-P20s glass with NASICON- type structure have been synthesized and transformed into glass-ceramic through thermal-treatment at various temperatures from 700 to 1 000 ~C for 12 h. The differential scanning calorimetry （DSC）, X-ray diffraction （XRD）, scanning electron microscopy （SEM） and complex impedance techniques were employed to characterize the samples. The experimental results indicated that the capability of glass forming in this system is superior to that of L20-A1203-TiO2-PzO~. The glass has an amorphous structure and resultant glass-ceramic mainly consisting of LiTi2（PO4）3 phases. Impurity phases AIPO4, TiO2, TiP207 and unidentified phase were observed. With the enhanced heat-treatment temperature, grain grew gradually and lithium ion conductivity of glass-ceramics increased accordingly, the related impedance semicircles were depressed gradually and even disappeared, which could be analytically explained by the coordinate action of the ＇Constant phase element＇ （CPE） model and the ＇Concept of Mismatch and Relaxation＇ model （CMR）. When the sample is devitrified at 1 000 ~C, the maximum room temperature lithium ion conductivity comes up to 4.1 x 10-4 S/cm, which is suitable for the application as an electrolyte of all-solid-state lithium batteries.
