Solid-state electrolytes for Li-ion batteries are attracting growing interest as they allow building safer batteries, also using lithium metal anodes. Here we studied a compound in the lithium superionic conductor (LISICON) family, i.e. Li4-xGe1-xPxO4 (LGPO). Thin films were deposited via pulsed laser deposition and their electrical properties were compared with ceramic pellets. A detailed characterization of the micro structure shows that thin films can be deposited fully crystalline at higher temperatures but also partially amorphous at room temperature. The conductivity is not strongly influenced by the presence of grain boundaries, exposure to air or lithium deficiencies. First-principles molecular dynamics simulations were employed to calculate the lithium ion diffusion profile and the conductivity at various temperatures of the ideal LGPO crystal. Simulations gives the upper limit of conductivity for a defect free crystal, which is in the range of 10-2 S cm-1 at 300 deg. The ease of thin film fabrication, the room-temperature Li-ion conductivity in the range of a few microS cm-1 make LGPO a very appealing electrolyte material for thin film all-solid-state all-oxide microbatteries.
The development of silicon anodes to replace conventional graphite in efforts to increase energy densities of lithium-ion batteries has been largely impeded by poor interfacial stability against liquid electrolytes. Here, stable operation of 99.9 wei
Rb2Ti2O5 (RTO) has recently been demonstrated to be a solid electrolyte, producing colossal capacitance when interfaced with metals. In order to understand the mechanisms leading to such colossal equivalent permittivity (up to four orders of magnitud
The solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) is regarded as the most complex but the least understood constituent in secondary batteries using liquid and solid electrolytes. The nanostructures of SEIs were recently reported to be equally important to the c
All-solid-state lithium batteries promise significant improvements in energy density and safety over traditional liquid electrolyte batteries. The Al-doped AlxLi7-3xLa3Zr2O12 (LLZO) solid-state electrolyte shows excellent potential given its high ion
Based on the work of Gritsenko et al. (GLLB) [Phys. Rev. A 51, 1944 (1995)], the method of Kuisma et al. [Phys. Rev. B 82, 115106 (2010)] to calculate the band gap in solids was shown to be much more accurate than the common local density approximati
