Article Abstract
Fast cation transport in solids underpins energy storage. Materials design has focused on structures that can define transport pathways with minimal cation coordination change, restricting attention to a small part of chemical space. Motivated by the greater structural diversity of binary intermetallics than that of the metallic elements, we used two anions to build a pathway for three-dimensional superionic lithium ion conductivity that exploits multiple cation coordination environments. LiSiSI is a pure lithium ion conductor created by an ordering of sulphide and iodide that combines elements of hexagonal and cubic close-packing analogously to the structure of NiZr. The resulting diverse network of lithium positions with distinct geometries and anion coordination chemistries affords low barriers to transport, opening a large structural space for high cation conductivity.

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.

Halide superionic conductors have garnered considerable attention due to their high ionic conductivity, mechanical deformability, and excellent oxidative stability. However, their incompatibility with lithium metal results in a thermodynamically unstable interface that increases interfacial impedance, thereby limiting the performance of halide-based all-solid-state lithium-metal batteries (ASSLBs). In this study, we report the synthesis of a series of iodide-chloride solid electrolytes, LiZrClI (x = 0-3), designed to enhance the reduction stability of the electrolyte through the high polarizability of I.

Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are promising alternatives to lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) due to their stable cycling performance, low cost, and abundance of sodium resources. Among cathodes of SIBs, sodium superionic conductors (NASCIONs) have garnered significant attention due to their unique 3D framework, high thermal stability, and high ionic conductivity. Activation of multiple electron transfer in NASICON materials is crucial for improving energy density, but the activation mechanism of the high-valent V-platform, especially V/V redox, is currently understudied.

A groundbreaking solid polymer electrolyte (SPE) design is reported that outperforms traditional liquid electrolytes in both performance and safety, while being environmentally benign. By leveraging click chemistry, starch acetate (SA) is integrated, a natural polymer itself capable of supporting superionic conductivity, with MXene quantum dots (MX-QDs). While the composite electrolyte is electrically insulating, the electrical conductivity of the MXene stabilizes the anionic species while also acting as a filler to boost mechanical properties.
