Computational Characterization of β-Li₃PS₄ Solid Electrolyte: From Bulk and Surfaces to Nanocrystals.

ABSTRACT: The all-solid-state lithium-ion battery is a new class of batteries being developed following today's demand for renewable energy storage, especially for electric cars. The key component of such batteries is the solid-state electrolyte, a technology that promises increased safety and energy density with respect to the traditional liquid electrolytes. In this view, β-Li₃PS₄ is emerging as a good solid-state electrolyte candidate due to its stability and ionic conductivity. Despite the number of recent studies on this material, there is still much to understand about its atomic structure, and in particular its surface, a topic that becomes of key relevance for ionic diffusion and chemical stability in grain borders and contact with the other device components.
