Promoting Fast Ion Conduction in Li-Argyrodite through Lithium Sublattice Engineering
Fundamental understanding of ionic transport plays a pivotal role in designing and optimizing fast ionic conductors. Here, through a systematic neutron scattering and theoretical investigation, we discovered new insights about how anion sublattice affects Li + distribution and transport in Li-argyrodite. We found that the promotion of Li + conductivities is strongly correlated with a previously overlooked Li + interstitial site (16e), which is critical for realizing intercage Li + migration. More isotropic Li + migration pathways with higher Li + occupancies on the interstitial 16e site are found to be the underlying reason for the much higher Li + conductivity in Li 6 PS 5 Cl relative to the Br- and I-based analogues. We further confirm that they are also the universal driving force for the ultrahigh Li + conductivities in both anion-substituted Li-poor (Li 6–a PS 5–a X a, X = Cl and Br) and cation-substituted Li-rich argyrodite (e.g., Li 6+a GeaP 1–a S 5 I and Li 6+a SiaSb 1–a S 5 I). In conclusion, it is expected this strategy can be generally adopted to improve the ionic conductivity of the broad family of Li-rich argyrodite and beyond.

Structural Complexities in Sodium Ion Conductive Antiperovskite Revealed by Cryogenic Transmission Electron Microscopy
Here we use low-dose cryogenic transmission electron microscopy (cryo-TEM) to investigate the atomic-scale structure of antiperovskite Na 2 NH 2 BH 4 crystals by preserving the room-temperature cubic phase and carefully monitoring the electron dose. Via quantitative analysis of electron beam damage using selected area electron diffraction, we find cryogenic imaging provides 6-fold improvement in beam stability for this solid electrolyte. Cryo-TEM images obtained from flat crystals revealed the presence of a new, long-range-ordered supercell with a cubic phase. The supercell exhibits doubled unit cell dimensions of 9.4 Å × 9.4 Å as compared to the cubic lattice structure revealed by X-ray crystallography of 4.7 Å × 4.7 Å. The comparison between the experimental image and simulated potential map indicates the origin of the supercell is a vacancy ordering of sodium atoms. This work demonstrates the potential of using cryo-TEM imaging to study the atomic-scale structure of air- and electron-beam-sensitive antiperovskite-type solid electrolytes.
