Exploring the Relationship Between Halide Substitution, Structural Disorder, and Lithium Distribution in Lithium Argyrodites (Li_6-xPS_5-xBr_1+x)

Lithium argyrodite superionic conductors have recently gained significant attention as potential solid electrolytes for all-solid-state batteries because of their high ionic conductivity and ease of processing. Promising aspects of these materials are the ability to introduce halides (Li_6-xPS_5-xHal_1+x, Hal =...

Li₅NCl₂: A Fully-Reduced, Highly-Disordered Nitride-Halide Electrolyte for Solid-State Batteries with Lithium-Metal Anodes

Most highly Li-conducting solid electrolytes (σ_RT > 10^-3 S cm^-1) are unstable against lithium-metal and suffer from detrimental solid-electrolyte decomposition at the lithium-metal/solid-electrolyte interface. Solid electrolytes that are stable against lithium metal thus offer a direct route to stabilize...

Re-investigating the structure-property relationship of the solid electrolytes Li _3−xIn_1−xZr_xCl₆ and the impact of In-Zr(iv) substitution

Chloride-based solid electrolytes are considered interesting candidates for catholytes in all-solid-state batteries due to their high electrochemical stability, which allows the use of high-voltage cathodes without protective coatings. Aliovalent Zr(iv) substitution is a widely applicable strategy to increase the ionic conductivity of Li<sub...

Investigation of Structure, Ionic Conductivity, and Electrochemical Stability of Halogen Substitution in Solid-State Ion Conductor Li₃YBr_xCl_{6- x}

Li₃YX₆(X = Cl, Br) materials are Li-ion conductors that can be used as solid electrolytes in all solid-state batteries. Solid electrolytes ideally have high ionic conductivity and (electro)chemical compatibility with the electrodes. It was proven that introducing Br to Li₃YCl₆increases ionic...
