<div>The discovery of the lithium superionic conductor Li10GeP2S12 (LGPS) has led to significant research activity on solid electrolytes for high-performance and safe solid-state batteries. LGPS exhibits a remarkably high room-temperature Li-ion conductivity of 12 mS/cm, comparable to</div><div>that of the liquid electrolytes used in current Li-ion batteries. Here, we predict that nanosizing of LGPS can be used to further enhance its already outstanding Li-ion conductivity. By utilizing state-of-the-art nanoscale molecular dynamics techniques, we are able to simulate the Li-ion conductivities of nanocrystalline LGPS systems with average grain sizes from 10 to 2 nm. Our results reveal that the Li-ion conductivity of LGPS increases with decreasing grain volume. For the smallest nanometric grain size, the Li-ion conductivity at room temperature is three times higher that of the bulk system. These findings reveal that nanosizing LGPS and related solid electrolytes could be an effective approach for enhancing their Li-ion conductivity.</div>

Conduction Properties

Solid electrolytes with high Li-ion conductivity and electrochemical stability are very important for developing high-performance all-solid-state batteries. In this work, Li2(BH4)(NH2) is nanoconfined in the mesoporous silica molecule sieve (SBA-15) using a melting–infiltration approach. This electrolyte exhibits excellent Li-ion conduction properties, achieving a Li-ion conductivity of 5.0 × 10−3 S cm−1 at 55 °C, an electrochemical stability window of 0 to 3.2 V and a Li-ion transference number of 0.97. In addition, this electrolyte can enable the stable cycling of Li|Li2(BH4)(NH2)@SBA-15|TiS2 cells, which exhibit a reversible specific capacity of 150 mAh g−1 with a Coulombic efficiency of 96% after 55 cycles.

AbstractSuperionic solid electrolytes are key to the development of advanced solid-state Li batteries. In recent years, various materials have been discovered, with ionic conductivities approaching or even exceeding those of carbonate-based liquid electrolytes used in high-performance Li-ion batteries. Among the different classes of inorganic solid electrolytes under study, lithium thiophosphates are one of the most promising due to their high Li-ion conductivity at room temperature and mechanical softness. Here, we report about the effect of synthesis parameters on the crystallization behavior and charge-transport properties of Li4PS4I. We show that thermally induced crystallization of Li4PS4I (P4/nmm), starting from the glassy phase 1.5Li2S–0.5P2S5–LiI, adversely affects the material’s conductivity. However, both conductivity and crystallization temperature can be significantly increased by applying pressure during the preparation.

Abstract Development of commercial solid-state batteries so far been hindered by the individual limitations of inorganic and organic solid-electrolytes, motivating hybrid concepts. However, room-temperature performance of hybrid-solid electrolytes is still insufficient in terms of ion conductivity, where especially the role and impact of the inorganic and organic interphases is largely unexplored. A key challenge is to assess the Li-ion transport over the interfaces directly and relate this to the surface chemistry. Here the lithium-ion conductivity in hybrid-solid electrolytes, the interface structure and Li+ interface transport was investigated by state-of-art solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance methodologies. In a hybrid-solid Polyethylene oxide polymer – inorganic electrolyte, two representative types of ionic liquids, having a different miscibility with the polymer, were used as a benchmark to tailor the local environment at the interface between the inorganic and organic solid electrolytes species. The poor miscibility ionic liquid wets the polymer-inorganic interface and raises the local polarizability, thereby lowering the diffusional barrier, which activates the high conductivity of the inorganic solid-electrolyte, resulting in and overall room temperature conductivity of 0.25 mS/cm. A very high critical current density of 0.25 mA/cm2 versus a Li-metal anode is achieved, demonstrating improved stability, and a LiFePO4 – Li-metal full solid-state cell can be cycled at room temperature at an Coulombic efficiency of 99.9%. The local interface environment between the solid electrolyte phases in hybrid solid electrolytes, is thus demonstrated to be the bottleneck and tailoring the interface properties appears a viable route towards the design of highly conducting hybrid-solid electrolyte concepts.
