Abstract
Sulfide solid electrolyte membranes employed in all-solid-state lithium batteries generally show high thickness and poor chemical stability, which limit the cell-level energy density and cycle life. In this work, Li9.88GeP1.96Sb0.04S11.88Cl0.12 solid electrolyte is synthesized with Sb, Cl partial substitution of P, S, possessing excellent toluene tolerance and stability to lithium. The formed SbS43- group in Li9.88GeP1.96Sb0.04S11.88Cl0.12 exhibits low adsorption energy and reactivity for toluene molecules, confirmed by first-principles density functional theory calculation. Using toluene as the solvent, ultrathin Li9.88GeP1.96Sb0.04S11.88Cl0.12 membranes with adjustable thicknesses can be well prepared by the wet coating method, and an 8 μm thick membrane exhibits an ionic conductivity of 1.9 mS cm-1 with ultrahigh ionic conductance of 1860 mS and ultralow areal resistance of 0.68 Ω cm-2 at 25 °C. The obtained LiCoO2|Li9.88GeP1.96Sb0.04S11.88Cl0.12 membrane|Li all-solid-state lithium battery shows an initial reversible capacity of 125.6 mAh g-1 with a capacity retention of 86.3% after 250 cycles at 0.1 C under 60 °C.
