Abstract

En 中文
Sodium all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs) with superionic solid electrolytes (SEs) show substantial potential for large-scale energy-storage applications. Recently, lithium halide SEs have attracted attention owing to their potential compatibility with high-voltage cathode materials and high ionic conductivity. Although sodium halide SEs are believed to exhibit good electrochemical stability, very few compounds have been reported. This study provides design principles for superionic sodium halide SEs through systematic theoretical investigations of Na3MX6 (X = Cl, Br, and I). The Na3MX6 structures depend on the types and sizes of M and X: Na3MCl6 and Na3MBr6 prefer the P31c, P2(1)/n and R3 phases, whereas Na3MI6 prefers the C2/m phase. The Na(3)MI(6)C2/m phase is found to exhibit reasonably high ionic conductivity (similar to 10(-4) S cm(-1)) and anion mixing with Br further improve Na-ion migration, leading to an even higher ionic conductivity (similar to 10(-3) S cm(-1)) for Na3MBr3I3. The material design principles in this study provide fundamental guidelines for the development of superionic Na halide SEs for high-voltage Na ASSBs.
