Molecular and Ionic Solids

Molecular and Ionic Solids

Crystalline solids are divided into four types: molecular, ionic, metallic, and covalent network based on the type of constituent units and their interparticle interactions.
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...

Background:

Solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) are critical for developing safer and more efficient all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs).
Current SSEs face challenges in achieving high ionic conductivity, stability, and manufacturability.
Designing SSEs with tailored properties is essential for advancing ASSB technology.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a versatile functional module design strategy for creating advanced SSEs.
To demonstrate the feasibility of this design approach using various functional modules.
To improve the performance and stability of ASSBs, particularly at low temperatures.

Main Methods:

Incorporation of functional modules, such as LaCl3, into SSE compositions.
Synthesis and characterization of novel SSEs, including Li2O-1.8TaCl5-0.2LaCl3 (LTLOC) and Li2O-1.8TaCl5-5AlF3 (LTOC-5AlF3).
Fabrication and testing of ASSBs using LiNi0.88Co0.09Mn0.03O2 (NCM88) cathodes and the developed SSEs.

Main Results:

The LTLOC SSE enabled stable cycling and operation of an ASSB with an NCM88 cathode at -30°C.
The functional module design approach proved universal, successfully incorporating chloride, oxide, and fluoride modules.
LTOC-5AlF3 exhibited excellent stability in humid conditions, high voltage resistance, and compatibility with lithium metal, while maintaining high ionic conductivity.

Conclusions:

The functional module design strategy is effective for creating high-performance SSEs.
This approach allows for the simultaneous improvement of multiple battery performance metrics.
The developed SSEs show significant promise for next-generation ASSBs, addressing key limitations of current technologies.
