K₃ SbS₄ as a Potassium Superionic Conductor with Low Activation Energy for K-S Batteries.

ABSTRACT: Solid-state K-ion conducting electrolytes are key elements to address the current problems in K secondary batteries. Here, we report a sulfide-based K-ion conductor K₃ SbS₄ with a low-activation energy of 0.27 eV. W-doped K_3-x Sb_1-x W_x S₄ (x=0.04, 0.06, 0.08, 0.10 and 0.12) compounds were also explored for increasing vacancy concentrations and improving ionic conductivity. Among them, K_2.92 Sb_0.92 W_0.08 S₄ exhibits the highest conductivity of 1.4×10^-4 S cm^-1 at 40 °C, which is among the best reported potassium-ion conductors at ambient temperature. In addition, K_2.92 Sb_0.92 W_0.08 S₄ is electrochemically stable with long-chained potassium polysulfide of K₂ S_x . A room-temperature solid potassium-sulfur (K-S) battery system has therefore been successfully demonstrated, which is the first K-S battery prototype using non-commercial inorganic-based electrolyte to block the polysulfide shuttle.

A Na(+) Superionic Conductor for Room-Temperature Sodium Batteries.

Project description:Rechargeable lithium ion batteries have ruled the consumer electronics market for the past 20 years and have great significance in the growing number of electric vehicles and stationary energy storage applications. However, in addition to concerns about electrochemical performance, the limited availability of lithium is gradually becoming an important issue for further continued use and development of lithium ion batteries. Therefore, a significant shift in attention has been taking place towards new types of rechargeable batteries such as sodium-based systems that have low cost. Another important aspect of sodium battery is its potential compatibility with the all-solid-state design where solid electrolyte is used to replace liquid one, leading to simple battery design, long life span, and excellent safety. The key to the success of all-solid-state battery design is the challenge of finding solid electrolytes possessing acceptable high ionic conductivities at room temperature. Herein, we report a novel sodium superionic conductor with NASICON structure, Na3.1Zr1.95Mg0.05Si2PO12 that shows high room-temperature ionic conductivity of 3.5?×?10(-3)?S cm(-1). We also report successful fabrication of a room-temperature solid-state Na-S cell using this conductor.

A complex hydride lithium superionic conductor for high-energy-density all-solid-state lithium metal batteries.

Project description:All-solid-state batteries incorporating lithium metal anode have the potential to address the energy density issues of conventional lithium-ion batteries that use flammable organic liquid electrolytes and low-capacity carbonaceous anodes. However, they suffer from high lithium ion transfer resistance, mainly due to the instability of the solid electrolytes against lithium metal, limiting their use in practical cells. Here, we report a complex hydride lithium superionic conductor, 0.7Li(CB9H10)-0.3Li(CB11H12), with excellent stability against lithium metal and a high conductivity of 6.7?×?10-3?S?cm-1 at 25?°C. This complex hydride exhibits stable lithium plating/stripping reaction with negligible interfacial resistance (<1???cm2) at 0.2?mA?cm-2, enabling all-solid-state lithium-sulfur batteries with high energy density (>2500?Wh?kg-1) at a high current density of 5016?mA?g-1. The present study opens up an unexplored research area in the field of solid electrolyte materials, contributing to the development of high-energy-density batteries.

Room-Temperature All-solid-state Rechargeable Sodium-ion Batteries with a Cl-doped Na3PS4 Superionic Conductor.

Project description:All-solid-state sodium-ion batteries are promising candidates for large-scale energy storage applications. The key enabler for an all-solid-state architecture is a sodium solid electrolyte that exhibits high Na(+) conductivity at ambient temperatures, as well as excellent phase and electrochemical stability. In this work, we present a first-principles-guided discovery and synthesis of a novel Cl-doped tetragonal Na3PS4 (t-Na3-xPS4-xClx) solid electrolyte with a room-temperature Na(+) conductivity exceeding 1?mS cm(-1). We demonstrate that an all-solid-state TiS2/t-Na3-xPS4-xClx/Na cell utilizing this solid electrolyte can be cycled at room-temperature at a rate of C/10 with a capacity of about 80?mAh g(-1) over 10 cycles. We provide evidence from density functional theory calculations that this excellent electrochemical performance is not only due to the high Na(+) conductivity of the solid electrolyte, but also due to the effect that "salting" Na3PS4 has on the formation of an electronically insulating, ionically conducting solid electrolyte interphase.

Dynamic correlations and possible diffusion pathway in the superionic conductor Cu2-xSe.

Project description:The superionic conductor Cu2-xSe has regained interest as a thermoelectric material owing to its low thermal conductivity, suggested to arise from a liquid-like Cu substructure, and the material has been coined a phonon-liquid electron-crystal. Using high-quality three-dimensional X-ray scattering data measured up to large scattering vectors, accurate analysis of both the average crystal structure as well as the local correlations is carried out to shed light on the Cu movements. The Cu ions show large vibrations with extreme anharmonicity and mainly move within a tetrahedron-shaped volume in the structure. From the analysis of weak features in the observed electron density, the possible diffusion pathway of Cu is identified, and it is clear from its low density that jumps between sites are infrequent compared with the time the Cu ions spend vibrating around each site. These findings support the conclusions drawn from recent quasi-elastic neutron scattering data, casting doubt on the phonon-liquid picture. Although there is diffusion of Cu ions in the structure, making it a superionic conductor, the jumps are infrequent and probably not the origin of the low thermal conductivity. From three-dimensional difference pair distribution function analysis of the diffuse scattering data, strongly correlated movements are identified, showing atomic motions which conserve interatomic distances at the cost of large changes in angles.

Kinetically Stabilized Cation Arrangement in Li3 YCl6 Superionic Conductor during Solid-State Reaction.

Project description:The main approach for exploring metastable materials is via trial-and-error synthesis, and there is limited understanding of how metastable materials are kinetically stabilized. In this study, a metastable phase superionic conductor, β-Li3 YCl6 , is discovered through in situ X-ray diffraction after heating a mixture of LiCl and YCl3 powders. While Cl- arrangement is represented as a hexagonal close packed structure in both metastable β-Li3 YCl6 synthesized below 600 K and stable α-Li3 YCl6 above 600 K, the arrangement of Li+ and Y3+ in β-Li3 YCl6 determined by neutron diffraction brought about the cell with a 1/√3 a-axis and a similar c-axis of stable α-Li3 YCl6 . Higher Li+ ion conductivity and lower activation energy for Li+ transport are observed in comparison with α-Li3 YCl6 . The computationally calculated low migration barrier of Li+ supports the low activation energy for Li+ conduction, and the calculated high migration barrier of Y3+ kinetically stabilizes this metastable phase by impeding phase transformation to α-Li3 YCl6 . This work shows that the combination of in situ observation of solid-state reactions and computation of the migration energy can facilitate the comprehension of the solid-state reactions allowing kinetic stabilization of metastable materials, and can enable the discovery of new metastable materials in a short time.

Design and synthesis of the superionic conductor Na10SnP2S12.

Project description:Sodium-ion batteries are emerging as candidates for large-scale energy storage due to their low cost and the wide variety of cathode materials available. As battery size and adoption in critical applications increases, safety concerns are resurfacing due to the inherent flammability of organic electrolytes currently in use in both lithium and sodium battery chemistries. Development of solid-state batteries with ionic electrolytes eliminates this concern, while also allowing novel device architectures and potentially improving cycle life. Here we report the computation-assisted discovery and synthesis of a high-performance solid-state electrolyte material: Na10SnP2S12, with room temperature ionic conductivity of 0.4 mS cm(-1) rivalling the conductivity of the best sodium sulfide solid electrolytes to date. We also computationally investigate the variants of this compound where tin is substituted by germanium or silicon and find that the latter may achieve even higher conductivity.

A Novel Time-Saving Synthesis Approach for Li-Argyrodite Superionic Conductor.

Project description:The wet-chemical synthetic approach for Li-argyrodite superionic conductors for all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs) is promising as it saves time, energy, and cost, while achieving scalable production. However, it faces certain commercialization issues such as byproduct generation, nucleophilic attack of the solvent, and long processing times. In this study, a facile and time-saving microwave-assisted wet synthesis (MW-process) approach is proposed for Li6 PS5 Cl (LPSC), which is completed in 3 h at the precursor-synthesis stage. The LPSC crystal obtained from the MW-process presents various advantages such as fast-PS4 3- generation, high solubility of LiCl, and low adverse effects from solvent molecules. These features help in achieving a high Li-ion conductivity (2.79 mS cm-1 ) and low electric conductivity (1.85×10-6 mS cm-1 ). Furthermore, the LPSC crystal is stable when reacting with Li metal (2000 h at 0.1 mA cm-2 ) and exhibits superior cyclability with LiNi0.6 Co0.2 Mn0.2 (NCM622) (145.5 mA h g-1 at 0.5 C, 200 cycles with 0.12% of capacity loss per cycle). The proposed synthetic approach presents new insights into wet-chemical engineering for sulfide-based solid-electrolytes (SEs), which is crucial for developing ASSBs from a commercial-scale perspective.

Giant barocaloric effects over a wide temperature range in superionic conductor AgI.

Project description:Current interest in barocaloric effects has been stimulated by the discovery that these pressure-driven thermal changes can be giant near ferroic phase transitions in materials that display magnetic or electrical order. Here we demonstrate giant inverse barocaloric effects in the solid electrolyte AgI, near its superionic phase transition at ~420?K. Over a wide range of temperatures, hydrostatic pressure changes of 2.5?kbar yield large and reversible barocaloric effects, resulting in large values of refrigerant capacity. Moreover, the peak values of isothermal entropy change (60?J?K-1?kg-1 or 0.34?J?K-1?cm-3) and adiabatic temperature changes (18?K), which we identify for a starting temperature of 390?K, exceed all values previously recorded for barocaloric materials. Our work should therefore inspire the study of barocaloric effects in a wide range of solid electrolytes, as well as the parallel development of cooling devices.

Chemistry Design Towards a Stable Sulfide-Based Superionic Conductor Li4 Cu8 Ge3 S12.

Project description:Sulfide-based superionic conductors with high ionic conductivity have been explored as candidates for solid-state Li batteries. However, moisture hypersensitivity has made their manufacture complicated and costly and also impeded applications in batteries. Now, a sulfide-based superionic conductor Li4 Cu8 Ge3 S12 with superior stability was developed based on the hard/soft acid-base theory. The compound is stable in both moist air and aqueous LiOH aqueous solution. The electrochemical stability window was up to 1.5?V. An ionic conductivity of 0.9×10-4 ?S?cm with low activation energy of 0.33?eV was achieved without any optimization. The material features a rigid Cu-Ge-S open framework that increases its stability. Meanwhile, the weak bonding between Li+ and the framework promotes ionic conductivity. This work provides a structural configuration in which weak Li bonding in the rigid framework promotes an environment for highly conductive and stable solid-state electrolytes.
