Most solid-state electrolytes exhibit significant structural disorder, which requires careful consideration when modeling the defect energetics. Here, we model the native defect chemistry of a disordered solid electrolyte, Li10GeP2S12.

Several classes of materials, including thiophosphates, garnets, argyrodites, and anti-perovskites, have been considered as electrolytes for all-solid-state batteries. Native point defects and dopants play a critical role in impeding or facilitating fast ion conduction in these solid electrolytes. Despite its significance, comprehensive studies of the native defect chemistry of well-known solid electrolytes is currently lacking, in part due their compositional and structural complexity. Most of these solid-state electrolytes exhibit significant structural disorder, which requires careful consideration when modeling the point defect energetics. In this work, we model the native defect chemistry of a disordered solid electrolyte, Li<sub>10</sub>GeP<sub>2</sub>S<sub>12</sub> (LGPS), by uniquely combining ensemble statistics, accurate electronic structure, and modern first-principles defect calculations. We find that V<sub>Li</sub>, Li<sub>i</sub>, and P<sub>Ge</sub> are the dominant defects. From these calculations, we determine the statistics of defect energetics; formation energies of the dominant defects vary over ~140 meV. Combined with <i>ab initio</i> molecular dynamics simulations, we find that anti-sites P<sub>Ge</sub> promote Li ion conductivity, suggesting LGPS growth under P-rich/Ge-poor conditions will enhance ion conductivity. To this end, we offer practical experimental guides to enhance ion conductivity.

Abstract Li2(OH)0.9F0.1Cl, Li2(OH)0.9Br0.1Cl, and Li2OHCl0.8Br0.2 solid electrolytes were synthesized and compared with Li2OHCl to analyze the exact improvement mechanism for Li+ conductivity and electrochemical stability of Li2OHX-type solid electrolyte. The substituted materials exhibit improved electrochemical stability and Li+ conductivity Li2OHCl. Among these materials, Li(OH)0.9F0.1Cl has improved Li+ conductivity due to a reduction of the OH– concentration and the conductivity of Li2OHCl0.8Br0.2 was also increased compared with Li2OHCl due to the large interstitial site. In the case of Li2(OH)0.9Br0.1Cl, it had the highest Li+ conductivity and good Li+ migration by both effects because of a larger interstitial site and low OH− concentration. Furthermore, the electrochemical stability of four materials was compared due to the different structural stabilities and strengths of binary chemical bonds such as Li–X, H–X, and O–X. Comparing the Li+ conductivity of Li2(OH)0.9F0.1Cl and Li2OHCl0.8Br0.2, the Li+ conductivity is influenced by the OH− concentration unlike the other mechanisms.

The development trend of all solid state lithium ion battery and the importance of lithium ion solid electrolyte in all solid state lithium ion batteries is introduced in this paper. The application of rare earth doping in solid electrolyte of lithium ion battery is summarized. We suggest that rare earth doping is favorable for the increase of the lithium ion battery electrolyte conductivity, thus it is beneficial to further improve the overall performance of all solid state lithium ion battery. The development prospect of rare earth doping in solid electrolyte of all solid state lithium ion battery is looked forward. In addition, we deem that the above mentioned technology is an important research aspect of solid state electrolyte.
