Lithium thiophosphates represent a promising class of solid Li+ conductors for all-solid-state batteries. Scalable solvent-mediated synthesis routes for several Li–P–S ternary compounds have been reported, but little is known regarding the reaction mechanism of such pathways. This work demonstrates...
