Abstract:
Li7P3S11 solid electrolytes (SEs) subjected to liquid-phase synthesis with CaS or CaI2 doping were investigated in terms of their ionic conductivity and stability toward lithium anodes. No peak shifts were observed in the XRD patterns of CaS- or CaI2-doped Li7P3S11, indicating that the doping element remained at the grain boundary. CaS- or CaI2-doped Li7P3S11 showed no internal short circuit, and the cycling continued, indicating that not only CaI2 including I- but also CaS could help increase the lithium stability. These results provide insights for the development of sulfide SEs for use in all-solid-state batteries in terms of their ionic conductivity and stability toward lithium anodes.

Ionic Crystal Structures
Most monatomic ions behave as charged spheres, and their attraction for ions of opposite charge is the same in every direction. Consequently, stable structures for ionic compounds result (1) when ions of one charge are surrounded by as many ions as possible of the opposite...

Molecular Solids
Molecular crystalline solids, such as ice, sucrose (table sugar), and iodine, are solids that are composed of neutral molecules as their constituent units. These molecules are held together by weak intermolecular forces such as London dispersion forces, dipole-dipole interactions, or hydrogen bonds, which...
