ABSTRACTReplacing liquid by solid state electrolytes has the potential to significantly improve current Li ion batteries concerning performance and safety. The material class NZP, based on the compound NaZr2(PO4)3, exhibits a structural framework suitable for ionic conduction. In this work, a systematic compositional screening and simulation approach, combining classical molecular-dynamics, first-principles calculations, and structural analysis was applied, with which a set of new Li ion conducting NZP compounds could be identified.
