All-solid-state lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are promising energy storage devices with a high energy density and safety. Their high performances are attributed to solid electrolytes with high Li + conductivity. Recently, lithium metal bromides and chlorides have been developed as high Li + conductors, offering excellent battery performance. Among the halide solid electrolytes, lithium metal fluorides have seldom been considered as candidates for solid electrolytes, despite their exceptional electrochemical stability. This is because of their insufficient Li + conductivity compared with the chlorides and bromides with similar chemical compositions. Enhancement of the conductivity of fluorides can lead to the development of all-solid-state LIBs with high chemical stability and tolerance for high voltage. This study reports improvement in the Li + conductivity of Li 3 AlF 6 via Si 4+ doping. The Li 3 AlF 6 −Li 2 SiF 6 solid solution in which the host Al 3+ is substituted with Si 4+ was confirmed. The Li + vacancy was considered as the most likely defect for charge compensation. Ball-milled Li 3 AlF 6 −Li 2 SiF 6 exhibited an orthorhombic phase. The conductivity of 4Li 3 AlF 6 •Li 2 SiF 6 pellets was 3 × 10 −5 S/cm at room temperature, which is the highest reported value among the known lithium metal fluorides. Furthermore, the conductivity did not decline under ambient conditions (25 °C and a relative humidity of 70%), indicating the excellent moisture stability of 4Li 3 AlF 6 •Li 2 SiF 6 . Graphite/Li(Ni 0.3 Co 0.6 Mn 0.1 )O 2 cell cycles at 50 °C revealed a gradual decrease in the capacities during cycling. The Coulombic efficiencies were <99%, which are further deteriorated at 105 °C. Scanning electron microscopy/energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry analysis of the cell after cycling indicated a Si-rich region at the graphite interphase, possibly because of the reductive decomposition of 4Li

Solid‐state lithium metal batteries based on fluorinated solid electrolytes have attracted attention due to their safety and stability advantages. However, the fluoride solid electrolytes face the problem of relatively low Li‐ion conductivity due to the lacking of suitable structural prototypes and their corresponding modulation modes. In this work, a chlorine‐doped fluoride solid electrolyte Li3AlF5.87Cl0.13 is developed with high ionic conductivity by thermal fluorination and weak chlorination of mixed ionic liquids. The Cl anion is doped into the cryolite‐like open framework structure, and the electrolyte particle boundaries are decorated by solidified thin‐layer (≈2 nm) ionic liquid. Both the bulk and interface modifications enable the improvement of Li‐ion conductivity to 2 × 10−4 S cm−1 at 30 °C, which is the highest level among fluoride solid electrolytes. The Li3AlF5.87Cl0.13 with residual solidified ionic liquid shows the excellent stability of interface contact with Li metal, and the corresponding Li symmetric cell exhibits a small overvoltage (≈100 mV) with outstanding cycle life (at least 500 h). For the first time, a conversion‐type solid‐state Li/FeF3 battery is developed based on this fluoride electrolyte, delivering a reversible capacity as high as 430 mAh g−1. The existence of natural F‐rich interface promotes the conversion reaction reversibility of FeF3 cathode.
