All-in-one improvement toward Li₆PS₅Br-Based solid electrolytes triggered by compositional tune

Sulfide solid electrolytes possess high ionic conductivity and moderate dendrite suppression capability, but rather poor compatibility against oxide cathodes and metallic Li. Here, we report O-doped Li₆PS₅Br as solid electrolyte synthesized by a facile solid-state sintering. Different from other O-incorporated sulfides,...

Synthesis and characterization of argyrodite solid electrolytes for all-solid-state Li-ion batteries

Li₆PS₅X (X = Cl, Br, I) argyrodites possess high ionic conductivity but with rather scattered values due to various processing conditions. In this work, Li₆PS₅X solid electrolytes were prepared by solid-state sintering or mechanical alloying and optimized with or without excess Li₂S....

Facile Synthesis toward the Optimal Structure-Conductivity Characteristics of the Argyrodite Li₆PS₅Cl Solid-State Electrolyte

The high Li-ion conductivity of the argyrodite Li₆PS₅Cl makes it a promising solid electrolyte candidate for all-solid-state Li-ion batteries. For future application, it is essential to identify facile synthesis procedures and to relate the synthesis conditions to the solid electrolyte material performance. Here, a...

Lithium halide coating as an effective intergrain engineering for garnet-type solid electrolytes avoiding high temperature sintering

Garnet-type Li₇La₃Zr₂O₁₂ solid electrolytes were commonly prepared by two steps solid-state reaction method, which undergoes high temperature over 1000 °C and thus inevitable for lithium volatilization and formation of secondary phases. Here, we propose a new intergrain architecture engineering of a...

Interface-Engineered Li₇La₃Zr₂O₁₂-Based Garnet Solid Electrolytes with Suppressed Li-Dendrite Formation and Enhanced Electrochemical Performance

High grain-boundary resistance, Li-dendrite formation, and electrode/Li interfacial resistance are three major issues facing garnet-based solid electrolytes. Herein, interfacial architecture engineering by incorporating 1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl) imide (BMP-TFSI) ionic liquid into a garnet oxide is proposed....
