Abstract
The unique structure and exceptionally high lithium ion conductivity over 10 mS cm-1 of Li10GeP2S12 have gained extensive attention in all-solid-state lithium batteries. However, its poor resistivity to moisture and chemical/electrochemical incompatibility with lithium metal severely impede its practical application. Herein, a fluorine functionalized Li10GeP2S12 is synthesized by stannous fluoride doping and employed as a monolayer solid electrolyte to realize stable all-solid-state lithium batteries. The atomic-scale mechanism underlying the impact of fluorine doping on both moisture and electrochemical stability of Li10GeP2S12 is revealed by density functional theory calculations. Fluorine surface doping significantly reduces surface hydrophilicity by electronic regulation, thereby retarding the hydrolysis reaction of Li10GeP2S12. After exposed to a relative humidity of 35%-40% for 20 min, the ionic conductivity of Li9.98Ge0.99Sn0.01P2S11.98F0.02 maintains as high as 2.21 mS cm-1, nearly one order of magnitude higher than that of Li10GeP2S12 with 0.31 mS cm-1. Meanwhile, bulk doping of highly electronegative fluorine promotes the formation of lithium vacancies in the Li10GeP2S12 system, thus allowing stable lithium plating/stripping in Li | Li symmetric batteries, boosting a critical current density reaching 2.1 mA cm-2. The LiCoO2 | lithium all-solid-state batteries display improved cycling stability and rate capability, showing 80.1% retention after 600 cycles at 1C.

Abstract
All-solid-state batteries (ASSBs) based on inorganic solid electrolytes fascinate a large body of researchers in terms of overcoming the inferior energy density and safety issues of existing lithium-ion batteries. To date, the cathode designs in the ASSBs achieve remarkable achievements, adding the urgency of scaling up the battery system toward inorganic solid-state pouch cell configuration for the application market. Herein, the recent developments of cathode materials and the design considerations for their application in the pouch cell format are reviewed to straighten out the roadmap of ASSBs. Specifically, the intercalation compounds and the conversion materials with conversion chemistries are highlighted and discussed as two potentially valuable material types. This review focuses on the basic electrochemical mechanisms, mechanical contact issues, and sheet-type structure in inorganic solid-state pouch cells with corresponding perspectives, thus guiding the future research direction. Finally, the benchmarks for manufacturing inorganic solid-state pouch cells to meet practical high energy density targets are provided in this review for the development of commercially viable products.

Abstract
Li7La3Zr2O12 (LLZO) and related ceramic solid electrolytes feature excellent stability and reasonable ionic conductivity, but processing remains challenging. High-temperature co-sintering is required for successful integration with the electrode, which is energetically costly and can lead to unacceptable cathode degradation. The introduction of dopants can promote lower-temperature processing by improving deformability and disrupting lattice integrity; however, an unbiased, systematic study correlating these properties to the dopant chemistry and composition is lacking. Here, we rely on a set of static and dynamic metrics derived from first-principles simulations to estimate the impact of doping on LLZO processability by quantifying LLZO structural deformability. We considered three distinct dopants (Al, Ba, and Ta) as representatives of substitutional incorporation on Li, La, and Zr sites. Our descriptors indicate that doping in general positively impacts lattice deformability, although significant sensitivities to dopant identity and concentration are observed. Amongst the tested dopants, Al doping (on the Li site) appears to have the greatest impact, as signaled across nearly the entire set of computed features. We suggest that these proxy descriptors, once properly calibrated against well-controlled experiments, could enable the use of first-principles simulations to computationally screen new ceramic electrolyte compositions with improved processability.

Abstract
Halide solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) hold promise for the commercialization of all-solid-state lithium batteries (ASSLBs); however, the currently cost-effective zirconium-based chloride SSEs suffer from hygroscopic irreversibility, low ionic conductivity, and inadequate thermal stability. Herein, a novel indium-doped zirconium-based chloride is fabricated to satisfy the abovementioned requirements, achieving outstanding-performance ASSLBs at room temperature. Compared to the conventional Li2ZrCl6 and Li3InCl6 SSEs, the hc-Li2+xZr1-xInxCl6 (0.3 ≤ x ≤ 1) possesses higher ionic conductivity (up to 1.4 mS cm-1), and thermal stability (350 °C). At the same time, the hc-Li2.8Zr0.2In0.8Cl6 also shows obvious hygroscopic reversibility, where its recovery rate of the ionic conductivity is up to 82.5% after 24-h exposure in the 5% relative humidity followed by heat treatment. Theoretical calculation and experimental results reveal that those advantages are derived from the lattice expansion and the formation of Li3InCl6 ·2H2O hydrates, which can effectively reduce the migration energy barrier of Li ions and offer reversible hydration/dehydration pathway. Finally, an ASSLB, assembled with reheated-Li2.8Zr0.2In0.8Cl6 after humidity exposure, single-crystal LiNi0.8Mn0.1Co0.1O2 and Li-In alloy, exhibits capacity retention of 71% after 500 cycles under 1 C at 25 °C. This novel high-humidity-tolerant chloride electrolyte is expected to greatly carry forward the ASSLBs industrialization.

Abstract
The increasing demand for high-security, high-performance, and low-cost energy storage systems (EESs) driven by the adoption of renewable energy is gradually surpassing the capabilities of commercial lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Solid-state electrolytes (SSEs), including inorganics, polymers, and composites, have emerged as promising candidates for next-generation all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs). ASSBs offer higher theoretical energy densities, improved safety, and extended cyclic stability, making them increasingly popular in academia and industry. However, the commercialization of ASSBs still faces significant challenges, such as unsatisfactory interfacial resistance and rapid dendrite growth. To overcome these problems, a thorough understanding of the complex chemical-electrochemical-mechanical interactions of SSE materials is essential. Recently, computational methods have played a vital role in revealing the fundamental mechanisms associated with SSEs and accelerating their development, ranging from atomistic first-principles calculations, molecular dynamic simulations, multiphysics modeling, to machine learning approaches. These methods enable the prediction of intrinsic properties and interfacial stability, investigation of material degradation, and exploration of topological design, among other factors. In this comprehensive review, we provide an overview of different numerical methods used in SSE research. We discuss the current state of knowledge in numerical auxiliary approaches, with a particular focus on machine learning-enabled methods, for the understanding of multiphysics-couplings of SSEs at various spatial and time scales. Additionally, we highlight insights and prospects for SSE advancements. This review serves as a valuable resource for researchers and industry professionals working with energy storage systems and computational modeling and offers perspectives on the future directions of SSE development.

Abstract
Solid-state lithium metal batteries (SSLMBs) offer numerous advantages in terms of safety and theoretical specific energy density. However, their main components namely lithium metal anode, solid-state electrolyte, and cathode, show chemical instability when exposed to humid air, which results in low capacities and poor cycling stability. Recent studies have shown that bioinspired hydrophobic materials with low specific surface energies can protect battery components from corrosion caused by humid air. Air-stable inorganic materials that densely cover the surface of battery components can also provide protection, which improves the storage stability of the battery components, broadens their processing conditions, and ultimately decreases their processing costs while enhancing their safety. In this review, the mechanism behind the surface structural degradation of battery components and the resulting consequences are discussed. Subsequently, recent strategies are reviewed to address this issue from the perspectives of lithium metal anodes, solid-state electrolytes, and cathodes. Finally, a brief conclusion is provided on the current strategies and fabrication suggestions for future safe air-stable SSLMBs.

Abstract
Lithium-ion batteries are nowadays a mature technology for energy storage. However, some safety problems have been identified during their operation in high power applications such as fire incidents in electric vehicles. The most promising solution to improve the safety of lithium-ion batteries is replacing the current organic liquid based electrolytes with solid electrolytes. In this context, new solid electrolytes having chemical and electrochemical stability with high ionic conductivity need to be discovered. Therefore, in the present study, a new LGPS-type structural domain is highlighted for the Li-B-P-S system. Ionic conductivities of up to 10-4 S cm-1 have been achieved for prepared solid electrolytes in the Li-B-P-S system, and higher stability against lithium metal as compared to Li10GeP2S12. These solid electrolytes also show better electrochemical characteristics in all solid-state batteries.

Abstract
Exploiting solid electrolyte (SE) materials with high ionic conductivity, good interfacial compatibility, and conformal contact with electrodes is essential for solid-state sodium metal batteries (SSBs). Here we report a crystalline Na5SmSi4O12 SE which features high room-temperature ionic conductivity of 2.9 × 10-3 S cm-1 and a low activation energy of 0.15 eV. All-solid-state symmetric cell with Na5SmSi4O12 delivers excellent cycling life over 800 h at 0.15 mA h cm-2 and a high critical current density of 1.4 mA cm-2. Such excellent electrochemical performance is attributed to an electrochemically induced in-situ crystalline-to-amorphous (CTA) transformation propagating from the interface to the bulk during repeated deposition and stripping of sodium, which leads to faster ionic transport and superior interfacial properties. Impressively, the Na|Na5SmSi4O12|Na3V2(PO4)3 sodium metal batteries achieve a remarkable cycling performance over 4000 cycles (6 months) with no capacity loss. These results not only identify Na5SmSi4O12 as a promising SE but also emphasize the potential of the CTA transition as a promising mechanism towards long-lasting SSBs.

Abstract
Solid-state batteries (SSBs) hold immense potential for improved energy density and safety compared to traditional batteries. However, existing solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) face challenges in meeting the complex operational requirements of SSBs. This study introduces a novel approach to address this issue by developing a metal-organic framework (MOF) with customized bilayer zwitterionic nanochannels (MOF-BZN) as high-performance SSEs. The BZN consist of a rigid anionic MOF channel with chemically grafted soft multicationic oligomers (MCOs) on the pore wall. This design enables selective superionic conduction, with MCOs restricting the movement of anions while coulombic interaction between MCOs and anionic framework promoting the dissociation of Li+ . MOF-BZN exhibits remarkable Li+ conductivity (8.76 × 10-4 S cm-1 ), high Li+ transference number (0.75), and a wide electrochemical window of up to 4.9 V at 30 °C. Ultimately, the SSB utilizing flame retarded MOF-BZN achieves an impressive specific energy of 419.6 Wh kganode+cathode+electrolyte -1 under constrained conditions of high cathode loading (20.1 mg cm-2 ) and limited lithium metal source. The constructed bilayer zwitterionic MOFs present a pioneering strategy for developing advanced SSEs for highly efficient SSBs.

Abstract
Sulfide-based solid-state lithium-ion batteries (SSLIB) have attracted a lot of interest globally in the past few years for their high safety and high energy density over the traditional lithium-ion batteries. However, sulfide electrolytes (SEs) are moisture-sensitive which pose significant challenges in the material preparation and cell manufacturing. To the best of our knowledge, there is no tool available to probe the types and the strength of the basic sites in sulfide electrolytes, which is crucial for understanding the moisture stability of sulfide electrolytes. Herein, we propose a new spectral probe with the Lewis base indicator BBr3 to probe the strength of Lewis basic sites on various sulfide electrolytes by 11B solid-state NMR spectroscopy (11B-NMR). The active sulfur sites and the corresponding strength of the sulfide electrolytes are successfully evaluated by the proposed Lewis base probe. The probed strength of the active sulfur sites of a sulfide electrolyte is consistent with the results of DFT (density functional theory) calculation and correlated with the H2S generation rate when the electrolyte was exposed in moisture atmosphere. This work paves a new way to investigate the basicity and moisture stability of the sulfide electrolytes.

Chem Sci 2023; 14:8693-8722. [PMID: 37621443 PMCID: PMC10445474 DOI: 10.1039/d3sc02093b] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/24/2023] [Accepted: 08/01/2023] [Indexed: 08/26/2023] Open
Abstract
Since the huge breakthrough in 2018, research on halide solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) has set off a new craze. In comparison with oxide and sulfide SSEs, halide SSEs have more balanced properties in various aspects, including ionic conductivity, electrochemical stability window, and moisture resistance. Herein, the overall knowledge and deep understanding of halide SSEs and their practical applications in all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs) are introduced. Firstly, the principle of screening halide SSE components is proposed. Among F, Cl, Br and I anions, the Cl anion is excellent owing to its suitable ionic conductivity and electrochemical stability window. The Sc, Y, and lanthanide elements are also more compatible with Cl anions in terms of electronegativity. Secondly, the structural design theory of halide SSEs with high ionic conductivity and the mechanism of Li ion migration are described. A monoclinic structure is more conducive to Li ion migration, compared with trigonal and orthorhombic structures. Additionally, substitution strategies for halide SSEs are discussed, mainly including dual-halogen, isovalent cation substitution, and aliovalent cation substitution. Furthermore, the mechanism of moisture resistance and synthesis method of halide SSEs are analyzed. Compared with the solid-state reaction and mechanochemistry method, wet chemical synthesis is more likely to achieve scale-up production of halide SSEs. Finally, the application prospects and challenges of halide SSEs in ASSBs are outlined.

Abstract
NASICON-type Li1.3Al0.3Ti1.7(PO4)3 (LATP) has attracted a lot of attention because of its high ionic conductivity and stability to air and moisture. However, the size effect of LATP primary particles on ionic conductivity is ignored. In this study, different sizes of LATP particles are prepared to investigate the morphology, relative density, and ionic conductivity of the LATP solid electrolyte. The influences of particle size and sintering temperature on the microstructure, phase composition, and electrical properties of LATP ceramics were systematically studied. The medium-sized LATP particle (2 μm) presents a great microstructure with a high relative density of over 97%, the highest ionic conductivity of 6.7 × 10-4 S cm-1, and an activation energy of 0.418 eV. The Li-Li symmetric cells and Li-LFP batteries delivering good electrochemical performance were fabricated with highly conductive LATP ceramics. These results make significant strides in elucidating the relationship between the particle sizes of LATP and its electrochemical performance.

Abstract
Inorganic sulfide solid-state electrolytes, especially Li6PS5X (X = Cl, Br, I), are considered viable materials for developing all-solid-state batteries because of their high ionic conductivity and low cost. However, this class of solid-state electrolytes suffers from structural and chemical instability in humid air environments and a lack of compatibility with layered oxide positive electrode active materials. To circumvent these issues, here, we propose Li6+xMxAs1-xS5I (M=Si, Sn) as sulfide solid electrolytes. When the Li6+xSixAs1-xS5I (x = 0.8) is tested in combination with a Li-In negative electrode and Ti2S-based positive electrode at 30 °C and 30 MPa, the Li-ion lab-scale Swagelok cells demonstrate long cycle life of almost 62500 cycles at 2.44 mA cm-2, decent power performance (up to 24.45 mA cm-2) and areal capacity of 9.26 mAh cm-2 at 0.53 mA cm-2.

Abstract
Solid-state electrolytes (SEs) have attracted overwhelming attention as a promising alternative to traditional organic liquid electrolytes (OLEs) for high-energy-density sodium-metal batteries (SMBs), owing to their intrinsic incombustibility, wider electrochemical stability window (ESW), and better thermal stability. Among various kinds of SEs, inorganic solid-state electrolytes (ISEs) stand out because of their high ionic conductivity, excellent oxidative stability, and good mechanical strength, rendering potential utilization in safe and dendrite-free SMBs at room temperature. However, the development of Na-ion ISEs still remains challenging, that a perfect solution has yet to be achieved. Herein, we provide a comprehensive and in-depth inspection of the state-of-the-art ISEs, aiming at revealing the underlying Na+ conduction mechanisms at different length scales, and interpreting their compatibility with the Na metal anode from multiple aspects. A thorough material screening will include nearly all ISEs developed to date, i.e., oxides, chalcogenides, halides, antiperovskites, and borohydrides, followed by an overview of the modification strategies for enhancing their ionic conductivity and interfacial compatibility with Na metal, including synthesis, doping and interfacial engineering. By discussing the remaining challenges in ISE research, we propose rational and strategic perspectives that can serve as guidelines for future development of desirable ISEs and practical implementation of high-performance SMBs.

Abstract
Solid-state lithium metal batteries offer superior energy density, longer lifespan, and enhanced safety compared to traditional liquid-electrolyte batteries. Their development has the potential to revolutionize battery technology, including the creation of electric vehicles with extended ranges and smaller more efficient portable devices. The employment of metallic lithium as the negative electrode allows the use of Li-free positive electrode materials, expanding the range of cathode choices and increasing the diversity of solid-state battery design options. In this review, we present recent developments in the configuration of solid-state lithium batteries with conversion-type cathodes, which cannot be paired with conventional graphite or advanced silicon anodes due to the lack of active lithium. Recent advancements in electrode and cell configuration have resulted in significant improvements in solid-state batteries with chalcogen, chalcogenide, and halide cathodes, including improved energy density, better rate capability, longer cycle life, and other notable benefits. To fully leverage the benefits of lithium metal anodes in solid-state batteries, high-capacity conversion-type cathodes are necessary. While challenges remain in optimizing the interface between solid-state electrolytes and conversion-type cathodes, this area of research presents significant opportunities for the development of improved battery systems and will require continued efforts to overcome these challenges.

Abstract
Chitosan is a kind of natural polysaccharide biomass with the second highest content in nature after cellulose, which has good biological properties such as biocompatibility, biodegradability, hemostasis, mucosal adsorption, non-toxicity, and antibacterial properties. Therefore, hydrogels prepared from chitosan have the advantages of good hydrophilicity, unique three-dimensional network structure, and good biocompatibility, so they have received extensive attention and research in environmental testing, adsorption, medical materials, and catalytic supports. Compared with traditional polymer hydrogels, biomass chitosan-based hydrogels have advantages such as low toxicity, excellent biocompatibility, outstanding processability, and low cost. This paper reviews the preparation of various chitosan-based hydrogels using chitosan as raw material and their applications in the fields of medical materials, environmental detection, catalytic carriers, and adsorption. Some views and prospects are put forward for the future research and development of chitosan-based hydrogels, and it is believed that chitosan-based hydrogels will be able to obtain more valuable applications.

Abstract
The instability of Li10 GeP2 S12 toward moisture and that toward lithium metal are two challenges for the application in all-solid-state lithium batteries. In this work, Li10 GeP2 S12 is fluorinated to form a LiF-coated core-shell solid electrolyte LiF@Li10 GeP2 S12 . Density-functional theory calculations confirm the hydrolysis mechanism of Li10 GeP2 S12 solid electrolyte, including H2 O adsorption on Li atoms of Li10 GeP2 S12 and the subsequent PS4 3- dissociation affected by hydrogen bond. The hydrophobic LiF shell can reduce the adsorption site, thus resulting in superior moisture stability when exposing in 30% relative humidity air. Moreover, with LiF shell, Li10 GeP2 S12 shows one order lower electronic conductivity, which can significantly suppress lithium dendrite growth and reduce the side reaction between Li10 GeP2 S12 and lithium, realizing three times higher critical current density to 3 mA cm-2 . The assembled LiNbO3 @LiCoO2 /LiF@Li10 GeP2 S12 /Li battery exhibits an initial discharge capacity of 101.0 mAh g-1 with a capacity retention of 94.8% after 1000 cycles at 1 C.

Abstract
The safety of lithium-ion batteries has caused notable concerns about their widespread adoption in electric vehicles. A nascent but promising approach to enhancing battery safety is using solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) to develop all-solid-state batteries, which exhibit unrivaled safety and superior energy density. A new family of SSEs based on halogen chemistry has recently gained renewed interest because of their high ionic conductivity, high-voltage stability, good deformability, and cost-effective and scalable synthesis routes.

Abstract
Sulfide solid electrolytes (SSEs) show tremendous potential to realize high-energy-density secondary batteries and offer distinguishing safety features over the traditional liquid-electrolyte-based system. However, their installation is hindered by the air sensitivity and substandard interfacial compatibility with Li-metal anodes. Herein, an aliovalent P5+/Ge4+ and isovalent S2-/O2- cosubstitution strategy increases the σLi+ to 4.77 mS cm-1, which is associated with the lowest activation energy (18.66 kJ mol-1). Impressively, with limited substitution of P/Ge and S/O in Li7P3S11, the derived electrolytes largely suppressed the structural hydrolysis in the air. Furthermore, the Li//Li cell with novel Li7P2.9Ge0.05S10.75O0.1 SSEs realized Li plating/stripping over 100 h at 0.1 mA cm-2/0.1 mAh cm-2 @ RT, with the lowest overpotential at ∼5 mV. Next, ex situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) quantified the electrochemical decomposition of the Li7P3S11/LiNbO3@NCA interface during cell operation. XPS results confirmed better thermodynamic stability between LiNbO3@NCA and L7P3S11 after GeO2 substitution. Accordingly, the LiNbO3@NCA/Li7P2.9Ge0.05S10.75O0.1/Li-In cell performed remarkably; first discharge capacity, 158.9 mAh g-1; capacity retention, 89%; and Coulombic efficiency, ∼100% after 50 cycles @ 0.064 mA cm-2 and even at 0.3 mA cm-2 versus the first discharge capacity and retention (129.4 mAh g-1 and 75.73%) after 70 cycles @ RT. These remarkable results could be attributable to the excellent σLi+, chemical/electrochemical stability toward LiNbO3@NCA, and meager interfacial resistance, essential for the practical application of sulfide-based batteries.

Abstract
All-solid-state Li-ion batteries are of considerable interest as safer alternatives to Li-ion batteries containing flammable organic electrolytes. To date, however, achieving sufficient charging and discharging rates, in addition to capacity, at room temperature using these all-solid-state batteries has been challenging. To overcome these issues, material simulations and informatics investigations of a relatively new Na superionic conductor (NASICON)-type LiZr2(PO4)3 (LZP) electrolyte were conducted to elucidate its characteristics and material functions. The following thermodynamic and/or kinetic properties of NASICON-type Li-ion conductive oxides were investigated with respect to the crystal structure mainly using material simulation and informatics approaches: (1) the electrochemical stabilities of LZP materials with respect to Li metal and (2) Li-ion conductivities in the bulk and at the grain boundaries. An efficient materials informatics search method was employed to optimise the material functions of the LZP electrolyte via Bayesian optimisation. This study should promote the application of LZP in all-solid-state batteries for use in technologies such as mobile devices and electric vehicles and enable more complex composition and process control.

Abstract
The all-solid-state battery (ASSB) is a promising next-generation energy storage technology for both consumer electronics and electric vehicles because of its high energy density and improved safety. Sulfide solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) have merits of low density, high ionic conductivity, and favorable mechanical properties compared to oxide ceramic and polymer materials. However, mass production and processing of sulfide SSEs remain a grand challenge because of their poor moisture stability. Here, we report a reversible surface coating strategy for enhancing the moisture stability of sulfide SSEs using amphipathic organic molecules. An ultrathin layer of 1-bromopentane is coated on the sulfide SSE surface (e.g., Li7P2S8Br0.5I0.5) via Van der Waals force. 1-Bromopentane has more negative adsorption energy with SSEs than H2O based on first-principles calculations, thereby enhancing the moisture stability of SSEs because the hydrophobic long-chain alkyl tail of 1-bromopentane repels water molecules. Moreover, this amphipathic molecular layer has a negligible effect on ionic conductivity and can be removed reversibly by heating at low temperatures (e.g., 160 °C). This finding opens a new pathway for the surface engineering of moisture-sensitive SSEs and other energy materials, thereby speeding up their deployment in ASSBs.

Abstract
The development of solid-state batteries has become one of the most promising directions in rechargeable secondary batteries due to their considerable energy densities and favorable safety. However, solid-state batteries with higher energy density and more durable and stable cycle life should be developed for large-scale energy storage and adaption to the rapidly increasing lithium battery production and sales market. Although inorganic solid electrolytes (ISEs) and composite solid electrolytes (CSEs) are relatively advantageous solid-state electrolytes, they also face severe challenges. This review summarizes the main stability issues related to chemical, mechanical, thermal, and electrochemical aspects faced by ISEs and CSEs. The corresponding state-of-the-art improvement strategies have been proposed, including filling of modified particles, electrolyte pore adjustment, electrolyte internal structure arrangement, and interface modification.

Abstract
Solid-state batteries (SSBs) are promising candidates to significantly exceed the energy densities of today's state-of-the-art technology, lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). To enable this advancement, optimizing the solid electrolyte (SE) is the key. β-Li3 PS4 (β-LPS) is the most studied member of the Li2 S-P2 S5 family, offering promising properties for implementation in electric vehicles. In this work, the microstructure of this SE and how it influences the electrochemical performance are systematically investigated. To figure this out, four batches of β-LPS electrolyte with different particle size, shape, and porosity are investigated in detail. It is found that differences in pellet porosities mostly originate from single-particle intrinsic features and less from interparticle voids. Surprisingly, the β-LPS electrolyte pellets with the highest porosity and larger particle size not only show the highest ionic conductivity (up to 0.049 mS cm-1 at RT), but also the most stable cycling performance in symmetrical Li cells. This behavior is traced back to the grain boundary resistance. Larger SE particles seem to be more attractive, as their grain boundary contribution is lower than that of denser pellets prepared using smaller β-LPS particles.

Abstract
All-solid-state lithium batteries (ASSLBs) have attracted increasing attention recently because they are more safe and have higher energy densities than conventional lithium-ion batteries. In particular, ASSLBs composed of Ni-rich cathodes, sulphide-based solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) and lithium metal anodes have been regarded as the most competitive candidates. Ni-rich cathodes possess high operating potential, high specific energy and low cost, and sulphide-based SSEs have excellent ionic conductivity comparable to that of liquid electrolytes. However, severe parasitic reactions and chemo-mechanical issues hinder their practical application. Herein, the structure, ionic conductivity, chemical or electrochemical stability and mechanical property of sulphide-based SSEs are introduced. Critical interfacial problems between Ni-rich cathodes and sulphide-based SSEs, including chemical or electrochemical parasitic reactions, space charge layer effect, mechanical stress and contact loss, are summarised. The corresponding solutions including coating layer construction and structure design are expounded. Finally, the remaining challenges are discussed, and perspectives are outlined to provide guidelines for the future development of ASSLBs.

Abstract
The wet-chemical processability of sulfide solid electrolytes (SEs) provides intriguing opportunities for all-solid-state batteries. Thus far, sulfide SEs are wet-prepared either from solid precursors suspended in solvents (suspension synthesis) or from homogeneous solutions using SEs (solution process) with restricted composition spaces. Here, a universal solution synthesis method for preparing sulfide SEs from precursors, not only Li2 S, P2 S5 , LiCl, and Na2 S, but also metal sulfides (e.g., GeS2 and SnS2 ), fully dissolved in an alkahest: a mixture solvent of 1,2-ethylenediamine (EDA) and 1,2-ethanedithiol (EDT) (or ethanethiol). Raman spectroscopy and theoretical calculations reveal that the exceptional dissolving power of EDA-EDT toward GeS2 is due to the nucleophilicity of the thiolate anions that is strong enough to dissociate the GeS bonds. Solution-synthesized Li10 GeP2 S12 , Li6 PS5 Cl, and Na11 Sn2 PS12 exhibit high ionic conductivities (0.74, 1.3, and 0.10 mS cm-1 at 30 °C, respectively), and their application for all-solid-state batteries is successfully demonstrated.

Abstract
Chlorine-rich argyrodite-type solid electrolyte Li5.5PS4.5Cl1.5 has been a promising choice for solid-state batteries (SSBs) because of its ultrafast Li-ion conduction. However, the poor air/moisture stability and low electrochemical stability with pristine high-voltage cathodes hinder their applications. Herein, O-substituted Li5.5PS4.5-xOxCl1.5 (x = 0, 0.075, 0.175, and 0.25) solid electrolytes are successfully synthesized. Among them, Li5.5PS4.425O0.075Cl1.5 delivers high ionic conductivity, improved moisture resistance, and enhanced electrochemical stability in higher voltage windows. SSBs using Li5.5PS4.425O0.075Cl1.5 show higher capacities and superior cyclability than those using Li5.5PS4.5Cl1.5 combined with a pristine LiNi0.8Mn0.1Co0.1O2 cathode when operated at a high end-of-charge voltage of 4.5 V (vs Li+/Li0).

Abstract
Solid-state batteries have fascinated the research community over the past decade, largely due to their improved safety properties and potential for high-energy density. Searching for fast ion conductors with sufficient electrochemical and chemical stabilities is at the heart of solid-state battery research and applications. Recently, significant progress has been made in solid-state electrolyte development. Sulfide-, oxide-, and halide-based electrolytes have been able to achieve high ionic conductivities of more than 10-3 S/cm at room temperature, which are comparable to liquid-based electrolytes. However, their stability toward Li metal anodes poses significant challenges for these electrolytes. The existence of non-Li cations that can be reduced by Li metal in these electrolytes hinders the application of Li anode and therefore poses an obstacle toward achieving high-energy density. The finding of antiperovskites as ionic conductors in recent years has demonstrated a new and exciting solution. These materials, mainly constructed from Li (or Na), O, and Cl (or Br), are lightweight and electrochemically stable toward metallic Li and possess promising ionic conductivity. Because of the structural flexibility and tunability, antiperovskite electrolytes are excellent candidates for solid-state battery applications, and researchers are still exploring the relationship between their structure and ion diffusion behavior. Herein, the recent progress of antiperovskites for solid-state batteries is reviewed, and the strategies to tune the ionic conductivity by structural manipulation are summarized. Major challenges and future directions are discussed to facilitate the development of antiperovskite-based solid-state batteries.

Abstract
Polymer electrolytes are the key candidates for solid-state batteries benefiting from their intrinsic advantages over inorganic electrolytes in terms of flexibility and easy processability. However, they suffer from low ionic conductivity and poor mechanical strength, which restrict their wide utilization. Conventional ceramic fillers are used to improve the mechanical properties of polymer electrolytes but lack sufficient Li+ conductivity. In this work, a framework with vertical channels that possess fast Li+ movement is designed. It is found that the poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) compound in the vertical channel framework benefits to improve the ionic conductivity and mechanical strength synchronously. The framework in which ionic liquids are loaded on a zirconium dioxide surface (ZrO2@ILs) helps to improve ionic conductivity by 2 orders of magnitude compared with PEO, which is due to the enhanced orientation of ion transport. By optimizing the content of ZrO2@ILs, the elastic modulus is also tripled. Therefore, the symmetric lithium battery can cycle stably for more than 800 h at a current density of 0.25 mA cm-1, whereas the lithium metal battery has a specific capacity of 135 mAh g-1 at a current density of 2C and can cycle stably for more than 200 cycles at 60 °C.

Abstract
ConspectusAll-solid-state batteries (ASSBs) are considered to be a next-generation energy storage concept that offers enhanced safety and potentially high energy density. The identification of solid electrolytes (SEs) with high ionic conductivity was the stepping-stone that enabled the recent surge in activity in this research area. Among the various types of SEs, including those based on oxides, sulfides, polymers, and hybrids thereof, sulfide-based SEs have gained discernible attention owing to their exceptional room temperature ionic conductivity comparable even to those of their liquid electrolyte counterparts. Moreover, the good deformability of sulfide SEs renders them suitable for reducing the interfacial resistance between particles, thereby obviating the need for high-temperature sintering. Nevertheless, sulfide-based ASSB technology still remains at the research stage without any manufacturing schemes having been established. This state of affairs originates from the complex challenges presented by various aspects of these SEs: their weak stability in air, questions surrounding the exact combination of slurry solvent and polymeric binder for solution-based electrode fabrication, their high interfacial resistance resulting from solid particle contacts, and limited scalability with respect to electrode fabrication and cell assembly. In this Account, we review recent developments in which these issues were addressed by starting with the materials and moving on to processing, focusing on new trials. As for enhancing the air stability of sulfide SEs, strengthening the metal-sulfur bond based on the hard-soft acid-base (HSAB) theory has yielded the most notable results, although the resulting sacrificed energy density and weakened anode interface stability would need to be resolved. Novel electrode fabrication techniques that endeavor to overcome the critical issues originating from the use of sulfide SEs are subsequently introduced. The wet chemical coating process can take advantage of the know-how and facilities inherited from the more established lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). However, the dilemmatic matter of contention relating to the polarity mismatch among the slurry solvent, SE, and binder requires attention. Recent solutions to these problems involved the exploration of various emerging concepts, such as polarity switching during electrode fabrication, fine polarity tuning by accurate grafting, and infiltration of the electrode voids by a solution of the SE. The process of using a dry film with a fibrous binder has also raised interest, motivated by lowering the manufacturing cost, maintaining the environment, and boosting the volumetric energy density. Finally, optimization of the cell assembly and operation is reviewed. In particular, the application of external pressure to each unit cell has been universally adopted both in the fabrication step and during cell operation to realize high cell performance. The effect of pressurization is discussed by correlating it with the interface stability and robust interparticle contacts. Based on the significant progress that has been made thus far, we aim to encourage the battery community to engage their wide-ranging expertise toward advancing sulfide-based ASSBs that are practically feasible.

Abstract
Sulfide solid electrolytes (SEs) are recognized as one of the most promising candidates for all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs), due to their superior ionic conductivity and remarkable ductility. However, poor air stability, complex synthesis process, low yield, and high production cost obstruct the large-scale application of sulfide SEs. Herein, a one-step gas-phase synthesis method for sulfide SEs with oxide raw materials in ambient air, completely getting rid of the glovebox and thus making large-scale production possible, is reported. By adjusting substituted elements and concentrations, the ionic conductivity of Li4- x Sn1- x Mx S4 can reach 2.45 mS cm-1 , which represents the highest value among all reported moist-air-stable and recoverable lithium-ion sulfide SEs reported. Furthermore, ASSBs with air/water-exposed and moderate-temperature-treated Li3.875 Sn0.875 As0.125 S4 even maintains superior performances with the highest reversible capacity (188.4 mAh g-1 ) and the longest cycle life (210 cycles), which also breaks the record. Therefore, it may become one of the most critical breakthroughs during the development of sulfide ASSBs toward its practical application and commercialization.

Abstract
Li-ion-conducting chloride solid electrolytes receive considerable attention due to their physicochemical characteristics such as high ionic conductivity, deformability and oxidative stability. However, the raw materials are expensive, and large-scale use of this class of inorganic superionic conductors seems unlikely. Here, a cost-effective chloride solid electrolyte, Li2ZrCl6, is reported. Its raw materials are several orders of magnitude cheaper than those for the state-of-the-art chloride solid electrolytes, but high ionic conductivity (0.81 mS cm–1 at room temperature), deformability, and compatibility with 4V-class cathodes are still simultaneously achieved in Li2ZrCl6. Moreover, Li2ZrCl6 demonstrates a humidity tolerance with no sign of moisture uptake or conductivity degradation after exposure to an atmosphere with 5% relative humidity. By combining Li2ZrCl6 with the Li-In anode and the single-crystal LiNi0.8Mn0.1Co0.1O2 cathode, we report a room-temperature all-solid-state cell with a stable specific capacity of about 150 mAh g–1 for 200 cycles at 200 mA g–1. Stable inorganic solid electrolytes are instrumental in developing high-voltage Li metal batteries. Here, the authors present the synthesis and electrochemical energy storage properties of a cost-effective and humidity-tolerant chloride solid electrolyte.

Abstract
Electrolytes are key components in electrochemical storage systems, which provide an ion-transport mechanism between the cathode and anode of a cell. As battery technologies are in continuous development, there has been growing demand for more efficient, reliable and environmentally friendly materials. Solid-state lithium ion batteries (SSLIBs) are considered as next-generation energy storage systems and solid electrolytes (SEs) are the key components for these systems. Compared to liquid electrolytes, SEs are thermally stable (safer), less toxic and provide a more compact (lighter) battery design. However, the main issue is the ionic conductivity, especially at low temperatures. So far, there are two popular types of SEs: (1) inorganic solid electrolytes (InSEs) and (2) polymer electrolytes (PEs). Among InSEs, sulfide-based SEs are providing very high ionic conductivities (up to 10−2 S/cm) and they can easily compete with liquid electrolytes (LEs). On the other hand, they are much more expensive than LEs. PEs can be produced at less cost than InSEs but their conductivities are still not sufficient for higher performances. This paper reviews the most efficient SEs and compares them in terms of their performances and costs. The challenges associated with the current state-of-the-art electrolytes and their cost-reduction potentials are described.

Abstract
ConspectusRechargeable all-solid-state Li batteries (ASSLBs) are considered to be the next generation of electrochemical energy storage systems. The development of solid-state electrolytes (SSEs), which are key materials for ASSLBs, is therefore one of the most important subjects in modern energy storage chemistry. Various types of electrolytes such as polymer-, oxide-, and sulfide-based SSEs have been developed to date and the discovery of new superionic conductors is still ongoing. Metal-halide SSEs (Li-M-X, where M is a metal element and X is a halogen) are emerging as new candidates with a number of attractive properties and advantages such as wide electrochemical stability windows (0.36-6.71 V vs Li/Li+) and better chemical stability toward cathode materials compared to other SSEs. Furthermore, some of the metal-halide SSEs (such as the Li3InCl6 developed by our group) can be directly synthesized at large scales in a water solvent, removing the need for special apparatus or handling in an inert atmosphere. Based on the recent advances, herein we focus on the topic of metal-halide SSEs, aiming to provide a guidance toward further development of novel halide SSEs and push them forward to meet the multiple requirements of energy storage devices.In this Account, we describe our recent progress in developing metal halide SSEs and focus on some newly reported findings based on state-of-the-art publications on this topic. A discussion on the structure of metal-halide SSEs will be first explored. Subsequently, we will illustrate the effective approaches to enhance the ionic conductivities of metal halide SSEs including the effect of anion sublattice framework, the regulation of site occupation and disorder, and defect engineering. Specifically, we demonstrated that proper structural framework, balanced Li+/vacancy concentration, and reduced blocking effect can promote fast Li+ migration for metal halide SSEs. Moreover, humidity stability and degradation chemistry of metal halide SSEs have been summarized for the first time. Some examples of the application of metal halide SSEs with stability toward humidity have been demonstrated. Direct synthesis of halide SSEs on cathode materials by the water-mediated route has been used to eliminate the interfacial challenges of ASSLBs and has been shown to act as an interfacial modifier for high-performance all-solid-state Li-O2 batteries. Taken together, this Account on metal halide SSEs will provide an insightful perspective over the recent development and future research directions that can lead to advanced electrolytes.
