Abstract
- Developing high-performance all-solid-state batteries is contingent on finding solid electrolyte materials with high ionic conductivity and ductility. Here we report new halide-rich solid solution phases in the argyrodite Li <subscript>6</subscript> PS <subscript>5</subscript> Cl family, Li <subscript>6-x</subscript> PS <subscript>5-x</subscript> Cl <subscript>1+x</subscript> , and combine electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, neutron diffraction, and <superscript>7</superscript> Li NMR MAS and PFG spectroscopy to show that increasing the Cl <superscript>-</superscript> /S <superscript>2-</superscript> ratio has a systematic, and remarkable impact on Li-ion diffusivity in the lattice. The phase at the limit of the solid solution regime, Li <subscript>5.5</subscript> PS <subscript>4.5</subscript> Cl <subscript>1.5</subscript> , exhibits a cold-pressed conductivity of 9.4±0.1 mS cm <superscript>-1</superscript> at 298 K (and 12.0±0.2 mS cm <superscript>-1</superscript> on sintering)-almost four-fold greater than Li <subscript>6</subscript> PS <subscript>5</subscript> Cl under identical processing conditions and comparable to metastable superionic Li <subscript>7</subscript> P <subscript>3</subscript> S <subscript>11</subscript> . Weakened interactions between the mobile Li-ions and surrounding framework anions incurred by substitution of divalent S <superscript>2-</superscript> for monovalent Cl <superscript>-</superscript> play a major role in enhancing Li <superscript>+</superscript> -ion diffusivity, along with increased site disorder and a higher lithium vacancy population.<br /> (© 2019 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
