“…Here, Na 2.25 Zr 0.75 Y 0.25 Cl 6 and Na 2.4 Zr 0.6 Er 0.4 Cl 6 show ionic conductivities of 6.6 × 10 –5 and 3.5 × 10 –5 S·cm –1 , about 3 and 4 orders of magnitude higher than those of Na 3 YCl 6 and Na 3 ErCl 6 , reepectively. , Besides cation doping, anion substitution is also commonly explored to develop more conductive solid electrolytes, where especially halogen mixing seems beneficial for conductivity. , For example, the incorporation of chlorine in Li 2 ZrF 6 enhances its room temperature ionic conductivity by about 5 orders of magnitude up to 5.5 × 10 –7 S·cm –1 in Li 2 ZrF 5 Cl because of weaker Li–Cl bonds enabling more facile lithium-ion transfer . Additionally, for a series of compounds Li 3 YBr x Cl 6– x synthesized by comelting of the precursors, the composition Li 3 YCl 4.5 Br 1.5 ( x = 1.5) crystallizes in the trigonal P 3̅ m 1 phase (like Li 3 YCl 6 ), while the compositions Li 3 YCl 6– x Br x with x = 3 and 4.5 crystallize in the monoclinic C 2/ m phase (like Li 3 YBr 6 ), and halogen mixing allows higher conductivities (a maximum of 5.4 × 10 –3 S·cm 1 at 30 °C for Li 3 YBr 4.5 Cl 1.5 ) especially compared to that of Li 3 YCl 6 (4.9 × 10 –5 S·cm –1 at 30 °C) . Similarly, the Li 3 InBr x Cl 6– x series of compounds synthesized by ball milling and subsequent annealing also show various ionic conductivities, which reach a maximum of 1.2 × 10 –4 S·cm 1 at x = 3 .…”
