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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Evidence for a Solid-Electrolyte Inductive Effect in the Superionic Conductor Li10Ge1-xSnxP2S12.

Project description:Strategies to enhance ionic conductivities in solid electrolytes typically focus on the effects of modifying their crystal structures or of tuning mobile-ion stoichiometries. A less-explored approach is to modulate the chemical bonding interactions within a material to promote fast lithium-ion diffusion. Recently, the idea of a solid-electrolyte inductive effect has been proposed, whereby changes in bonding within the solid-electrolyte host framework modify the potential energy landscape for the mobile ions, resulting in an enhanced ionic conductivity. Direct evidence for a solid-electrolyte inductive effect, however, is lacking-in part because of the challenge of quantifying changes in local bonding interactions within a solid-electrolyte host framework. Here, we consider the evidence for a solid-electrolyte inductive effect in the archetypal superionic lithium-ion conductor Li10Ge1-xSnxP2S12. Substituting Ge for Sn weakens the {Ge,Sn}-S bonding interactions and increases the charge density associated with the S2- ions. This charge redistribution modifies the Li+ substructure causing Li+ ions to bind more strongly to the host framework S2- anions, which in turn modulates the Li+ ion potential energy surface, increasing local barriers for Li+ ion diffusion. Each of these effects is consistent with the predictions of the solid-electrolyte inductive effect model. Density functional theory calculations predict that this inductive effect occurs even in the absence of changes to the host framework geometry due to Ge → Sn substitution. These results provide direct evidence in support of a measurable solid-electrolyte inductive effect and demonstrate its application as a practical strategy for tuning ionic conductivities in superionic lithium-ion conductors.

In-situ electron microscopy mapping of an order-disorder transition in a superionic conductor.

Project description:Solid-solid phase transitions are processes ripe for the discovery of correlated atomic motion in crystals. Here, we monitor an order-disorder transition in real-time in nanoparticles of the super-ionic solid, Cu2-xSe. The use of in-situ high-resolution transmission electron microscopy allows the spatiotemporal evolution of the phase transition within a single nanoparticle to be monitored at the atomic level. The high spatial resolution reveals that cation disorder is nucleated at low co-ordination, high energy sites of the nanoparticle where cationic vacancy layers intersect with surface facets. Time-dependent evolution of the reciprocal lattice of individual nanoparticles shows that the initiation of cation disorder is accompanied by a ~3% compression of the anionic lattice, establishing a correlation between these two structural features of the lattice. The spatiotemporal insights gained here advance understanding of order-disorder transitions, ionic structure and transport, and the role of nanoparticle surfaces in phase transitions.
