Abstract
Excellent ionic conductivity and electronic insulation are core properties of solid electrolytes. In this study, we use high-energy ball milling and high-temperature sintering heat treatment to prepare a solid electrolyte, and its ionic conductivity (1.57 × 10−4 S⋅cm−1) is comparable with that of Li8P2S9 in the glass–ceramic state. On this basis, we modify the prepared LPS solid-state electrolyte through Bi2Se3 doping. First-principles computations based on density functional theory (DFT) indicate that Bi2Se3 doping can broaden lithium-ion transport channels and increase the lithium-ion conduction rate. With a doping ratio of 4 %, the ion conductivity reaches 3.02 × 10−3 S⋅cm−1, which offers good insulation to electrons and a stable −0.5 to 5 V (vs. Li/Li+) high-voltage platform. Additionally, Bi2Se3 doping significantly improved the air stability of the LPS solid electrolyte, reducing its adsorption energy to water and preventing the replacement of S by O from H2O.
