“…By reducing the Li content, Li vacancies are created and together with the introduction of the Al substituent, these two chemical modifications play a major role in the Li-ion conduction mechanism, and not only the crystalline structure. A purely cubic LLZ is not necessary for achieving high total Li-ion conductivity as shown here and as there exist also examples of poorly conductive cubic LLZ [31]. Nevertheless, from the ICP-OES results, there is definitely more Li in the samples than what is needed for stoichiometric LLZ:Al if we assume Al 3+ only replacing Li + sites.…”

Al-substituted Li 7 La 3 Zr 2 O 12 (LLZ:Al) was synthesized via conventional solid state reaction. Different dwell times at sintering temperature of 1200°C led to a varying Li content in LLZ:Al which significantly affected the Li-ion conductivity. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction were used to characterize the sintered pellets which showed a maximum total ionic conductivity of~3 × 10 −4 S cm −1 at room temperature although the samples were composed of cubic and tetragonal LLZ:Al, with the tetragonal phase as its major phase. Inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy revealed that the Li content steadily decreased from 7.5 to 6.5 Li per formula unit with increasing sintering time. The highest conductivity was observed from the sample with the lowest Li concentration at 6.5 per formula unit. Scanning electron microscopy images revealed the formation of large grains, about 500 μm in diameter, which additionally could be the reason for achieving high total Li-ion conductivity. Electrochemical tests showed that mixed phase LLZ:Al is stable against metallic Li up to 8 V.

“…In the laboratory frame, an absolute lithium jump rate can be deduced from the maximum condition τ·ω o ≈ 1 which is valid at the maximum relaxation rate. 28 From Figure 5b, it is observed that the maximum SLR rate is reached at 333 K for SSM-Li 6 PS 5 Cl and at 345 K for BMA-Li 6 PS 5 Cl. This corresponds to the same lithium jump frequency (9.80 × 10 8 s –1 ) calculated based on the above-described maximum 1/ T 1 relaxation condition.…”

The high Li-ion conductivity of the argyrodite Li6PS5Cl makes it a promising solid electrolyte candidate for all-solid-state Li-ion batteries. For future application, it is essential to identify facile synthesis procedures and to relate the synthesis conditions to the solid electrolyte material performance. Here, a simple optimized synthesis route is investigated that avoids intensive ball milling by direct annealing of the mixed precursors at 550 °C for 10 h, resulting in argyrodite Li6PS5Cl with a high Li-ion conductivity of up to 4.96 × 10–3 S cm–1 at 26.2 °C. Both the temperature-dependent alternating current impedance conductivities and solid-state NMR spin–lattice relaxation rates demonstrate that the Li6PS5Cl prepared under these conditions results in a higher conductivity and Li-ion mobility compared to materials prepared by the traditional mechanical milling route. The origin of the improved conductivity appears to be a combination of the optimal local Cl structure and its homogeneous distribution in the material. All-solid-state cells consisting of an 80Li2S–20LiI cathode, the optimized Li6PS5Cl electrolyte, and an In anode showed a relatively good electrochemical performance with an initial discharge capacity of 662.6 mAh g–1 when a current density of 0.13 mA cm–2 was used, corresponding to a C-rate of approximately C/20. On direct comparison with a solid-state battery using a solid electrolyte prepared by the mechanical milling route, the battery made with the new material exhibits a higher initial discharge capacity and Coulombic efficiency at a higher current density with better cycling stability. Nevertheless, the cycling stability is limited by the electrolyte stability, which is a major concern for these types of solid-state batteries.
