Mechanochemical Synthesis and Structure of Lithium Tetrahaloaluminates, LiAlX₄ (X = Cl, Br, I): A Family of Li-Ion Conducting Ternary Halides.

ABSTRACT: State-of-the-art oxides and sulfides with high Li-ion conductivity and good electrochemical stability are among the most promising candidates for solid-state electrolytes in secondary batteries. Yet emerging halides offer promising alternatives because of their intrinsic low Li⁺ migration energy barriers, high electrochemical oxidative stability, and beneficial mechanical properties. Mechanochemical synthesis has enabled the characterization of LiAlX₄ compounds to be extended and the iodide, LiAlI₄, to be synthesized for the first time (monoclinic P2₁/c, Z = 4; a = 8.0846(1) Å; b = 7.4369(1) Å; c = 14.8890(2) Å; β = 93.0457(8)°). Of the tetrahaloaluminates, LiAlBr₄ exhibited the highest ionic c
