achieve high safety and competitive energy and power density. [1,2] The solid electrolyte (SE) is the key component in ASSBs and has been extensively explored for several decades. [3,4] Among the different types of solid electrolytes, lithium thiophosphates have attracted ever-increasing attention for ASSBs due to their very high ionic conductivity and facile processing at room temperature. [5,6] Recent theoretical simulations suggest that the ionic conductivity of SEs in ASSB cathodes needs to reach at least 10 -2 S cm -1 in order to obtain comparable performance with commercial lithium-ion batteries with liquid electrolytes-a target that may only be achieved with thiophosphate electrolytes. [7] Therefore, significant research effort is spent on improving the ionic conductivity of thiophosphate SEs. [8,9] Glasses in the quasi-binary system xLi 2 S•yP 2 S 5 prepared by mechanical ball milling exhibit a conductivity of up to 10 -4 S cm -1 (e.g., 75Li 2 S•25P 2 S 5 glass [7525-glass], 70Li 2 S•30P 2 S 5 glass [7030-glass]) at room temperature. [10] The conductivity is enhanced by the precipitation of metastable phases upon heating, forming glass-ceramic dispersions: crystalline phases in an amorphous matrix, in this work denoted as "gc". [11] Although very high ionic conductivities above 10 mS cm -1 have been achieved in some Solid electrolytes (SEs) largely define the properties of all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs) and are expected to improve their safety, stability, and performance. Their ionic conductivity has much improved in recent years, enabling higher power and energy density. However, more subtle parameters, such as crystallinity, may also influence the electrochemical performance of cells. In this work, the correlation between the performance of ASSBs and thiophosphate SEs having the same stoichiometry, but different crystallinity is investigated. In In/InLi | SE | LiCoO 2 @ LiNb 0.5 Ta 0.5 O 3 model cells, better cycling and rate performance is achieved when using glass/glass-ceramic SEs (e.g., 75Li 2 S•25P 2 S 5 glass, 70Li 2 S•30P 2 S 5 glass, and Li 6 PS 5 Cl glass-ceramic). This can be mostly attributed to the mitigation of contact loss by the glass/glass-ceramic SEs compared to their crystalline SE counterparts. Furthermore, the SE decomposition at typical cathode potentials is investigated by using SE and carbon composites as cathodes. Larger volume changes and more severe decomposition are observed with crystalline SEs in the SE/carbon composite cathode after cycling. The crystalline SEs show higher electronic partial conductivity which results in more degradation in the composite cathode. This work sheds light on optimized composite cathode design for ASSB by carefully choosing solid electrolytes with appropriate mechanical and (electro-)chemical properties.
