Abstract
A CsSnCl3‐based solid electrolyte in which 5% of Sn sites are occupied by Y ions, CsSn0.95Y0.05Cl3.05 (CSYC), is developed using a one‐step mechanical ball‐milling method. CSYC exhibits a stable cubic perovskite crystal structure and a high chloride ion conductivity of 4.9 mS cm−1. The relative density of a CSYC pellet following cold pressing without heat treatment is 97.5%. The high relative density and ionic conductivity are considered to originate from the high mechanical plasticity of the pellets, as evidenced by a low Young's modulus of 8.2 GPa. An all‐solid‐state chloride ion battery cell using CSYC as the electrolyte, BiCl3 as the active cathode material, and Sn as the anode is confirmed to operate at room temperature. The cell shows a large initial discharge capacity of 178 mAh g−1, ≈70% utilization, and good capacity retention with a reversible capacity of 100 mAh g−1 after 40 cycles. The mechanical plasticity of CSYC is considered to be a major contributor to its high ionic conductivity and good battery cycling performance.
