LaCl3-based sodium halide solid electrolytes with high ionic conductivity for all-solid-state batteries
Abstract To enable high performance of all solid-state batteries, a catholyte should demonstrate high ionic conductivity, good compressibility and oxidative stability. Here, a LaCl 3 -based Na + superionic conductor (Na 1 − x Zr x La 1 − x Cl 4 ) with high ionic conductivity of 2.9 × 10 −4 S cm −1...
