ABSTRACT
Halide solid electrolytes do not currently display ionic conductivities suitable for high-power all-solid-state batteries. We explore the model system A2ZrCl6 (A = Li, Na, Cu, Ag) to understand the fundamental role that A-site chemistry plays on fast ion transport. Having synthesised the previously unknown Ag2ZrCl6 we reveal high room temperature ionic conductivities in Cu2ZrCl6 and Ag2ZrCl6 of 1 × 10-2 and 4 × 10-3 S cm-1, respectively. We introduce the concept that there are inherent limits to ionic conductivity in solids, where the energy and number of transition states play pivotal roles. Transport that involves multiple coordination changes along the pathway suffer from an intrinsic minimum activation energy. At certain lattice sizes, the energies of different coordinations can become equivalent, leading to lower barriers when a pathway involves a single coordination change. Our models provide a deeper understanding into the optimisation and design criteria for halide superionic conductors.
