Abstract
High-temperature metastable phases exhibit superior characteristics compared to those of thermodynamically stable phases at room temperature. Although optimization of the compositions and crystallizations from glasses contribute to the stabilization of metastable phases at room temperature, the stabilization of the high-temperature α-Li3PS4 phase is not yet reported. α-Li3PS4 was successfully stabilized at room temperature, instead of the middle-temperature β-Li3PS4 phase, via rapid heating to crystallize the Li3PS4 glass. The obtained electrolyte exhibited a high ionic conductivity of >10-3 S cm-1 at room temperature. The crystallization of the glass via rapid heating overcame the thermodynamic limitations in the preparation of the metastable crystals. Further development of materials via nonequilibrium states should contribute to the design of high-performance materials.
