Kurzbeschreibung (Abstract)
Sulfide-based solid Li+ electrolytes are one of the most promising electrolyte classes for solid-state battery applications. These solid electrolytes are typically prepared by means of high-energy ball milling, often followed by a heat treatment step for enhancing the Li+ ion conductivity. In many cases, heat treatment-induced conductivity enhancements have been attributed to the formation of a superionic thio-LISICON II phase. However, the chemical composition and structure of this phase as well as the origin of the conductivity enhancement are still under debate. Here, we have carried out a comprehensive study on the thiophosphate-based electrolyte system (1 – x) Li3PS4 + x LiI with x = 0–0.5. By combining electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and Raman spectroscopy as well as 7Li NMR line-shape analysis and high-resolution multidimensional 31P solid-state NMR measurements, we show that the widely used concept of a thio-LISICON II phase governing the ionic conductivity of heat-treated samples cannot explain the experimental observations. Double-quantum constant-time 31P NMR proves that P2S64– units are embedded in the amorphous phase of the ball-milled pristine samples. Upon heat treatment, the amorphous phase with the embedded P2S64– units is transformed into different nanoscale crystalline phases, a thio-LISICON II phase, a β-Li3PS4 phase, and a Li4PS4I-related phase. A structural model of the thio-LISICON II phase needs to explain the coupling pattern from two-dimensional double-quantum NMR presented here, showing two phosphorus environments with an approximate ratio of 2:1. Furthermore, our results indicate that in heat-treated samples, a highly disordered nanoscale Li4PS4I-related phase exists with an ionic conductivity even exceeding that of the thio-LISICON II phase
