Article Abstract
Oxides with a face-centred cubic (fcc) anion sublattice are generally not considered as solid-state electrolytes as the structural framework is thought to be unfavourable for lithium (Li) superionic conduction. Here we demonstrate Li superionic conductivity in fcc-type oxides in which face-sharing Li configurations have been created through cation over-stoichiometry in rocksalt-type lattices via excess Li. We find that the face-sharing Li configurations create a novel spinel with unconventional stoichiometry and raise the energy of Li, thereby promoting fast Li-ion conduction. The over-stoichiometric Li-In-Sn-O compound exhibits a total Li superionic conductivity of 3.38 × 10 S cm at room temperature with a low migration barrier of 255 meV. Our work unlocks the potential of designing Li superionic conductors in a prototypical structural framework with vast chemical flexibility, providing fertile ground for discovering new solid-state electrolytes.

The thermodynamic equilibrium assumption often invoked in modeling ion migration in solid-state materials remains insufficient to capture the true migration behavior of Li ions, particularly in less-crystalline superionic conductors that exhibit anomalously high Li ion conductivity. Such materials challenge classical frameworks and necessitate a lattice dynamics-based perspective that explicitly accounts for nonequilibrium phonon interactions and transient structural responses. Here, we uncover a phonon-governed Li ion migration mechanism in garnet-structured superionic conductors by comparing Ta-doped LiLaZrTaO (LLZTO4) to its undoped analogue, LiLaZrAlO (LLZO).

Understanding the complex structural and chemical factors that influence ionic conduction mechanisms is paramount for developing advanced inorganic superionic conductors in all-solid-state batteries, particularly halide solid electrolytes with excellent electrochemical oxidative stability and mechanical sinterability. Herein, contrasting ionic conduction behaviors in I and Br substituted LiZrCl are revealed by combining experimental structural analyses and theoretical calculations. The inter-slab distance along the c-axis, which varies with the anion substitution and M2-M3 site disorder, is a key factor for opening the ab-plane conduction and facilitating the overall Li conduction.

Metallic sodium (Na) is an attractive anode material for sodium metal batteries (SMBs) due to its high theoretical capacity and natural abundance. However, the unstable electrolyte/electrode interface and uncontrollable Na dendrite growth arising from the inhomogeneous Na transfer have significantly restricted its practical feasibility. Herein, the topological insulator of bismuth selenide (BiSe), which has protected conducting states on its surface, is selected as a regulator to guide uniform Na transfer.

Lithium metal chlorides are promising superionic conductors for all-solid-state batteries (SSBs) due to their favorable mechanical properties, high ionic conductivity, and good oxidative stability (up to >4.2 V versus Li/Li). Nonetheless, chloride solid electrolytes (SEs) still undergo electrochemical degradation when paired with high-voltage cathodes such as LiNiCoMnO.

Unlike Li-ion transport in the bulk of carbonaceous materials, little is known about Li-ion diffusion on their surface. In this study, we have discovered an ultrafast Li-ion transport phenomenon on the surface of carbonaceous materials with limited reversible Li insertion capacity and high surface area.
