Superionic Conduction and Interfacial Properties of the Low Temperature Phase Li7P2S8Br0.5I0.5

Abstract

Sulfide-based solid electrolytes are pursued for their application in bulk-type all-solid-state lithium batteries. Although the usefulness of Li10GeP2S12-type materials have been demonstrated in all-solid-state cathodes, a suitable material with both high ionic conductivity and good interfacial properties with common anode materials is still lacking. In this work, we explore the phase and transport properties of mechanically-milled Li7P2S8Br0.5I0.5, with emphasis on the favorable kinetics at Li metal anode. The low temperature crystalline phase Li7P2S8Br0.5I0.5 (LT-LPSBI) has exceptionally high ionic conductivity of 4.7 mS/cm at room temperature. Moreover, the LT-LPSBI supports long-term Li cycling at 0.5 mA cm-2 with low and stable interfacial resistance (5 O cm2). Transport phenomenon of Li/LT-LPSBI interface and cycling behavior of Li symmetric cells are studied and discussed in detail.
