[PMID: 38524466 PMCID: PMC10955714 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.3c09500] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/28/2023] [Revised: 02/04/2024] [Accepted: 02/08/2024] [Indexed: 03/26/2024]
Abstract
The sodium-rich solid electrolyte, Na3SO4F (NSOF), holds promise for eco-friendly and resource-abundant energy storage. While the introduction of heterovalent dopants has the potential to enhance its suitability for battery applications by creating Na vacancies, the effect of vacancies and sodium concentrations on sodium conduction remains unclear. In this work, Mg2+ was introduced into Na+ sites in Na3SO4F, generating sodium vacancies with different contents by using solid-state synthesis method. Among the resulting materials, Na2.96Mg0.02SO4F exhibited an ionic conductivity that is two-order-of-magnitude higher than NSOF at 298 K. Notably, as the sodium concentration decreased, the ionic conductivity also declined, revealing an equilibrium between Na vacancies and concentrations. To further investigate the influence of sodium concentration, excess Na+ was introduced into NaMgSO4F, which inherently possesses a lower sodium content by using solid-state synthesis method. However, this adjustment only led to an approximately one-order-of-magnitude enhancement in optimal ionic conductivity at 298 K. Combined with an in situ X-ray diffraction analysis, our findings underscore the greater sensitivity of sodium conduction to variations in sodium vacancies. This study paves the way for the development of ultrafast sodium ion conductors, offering exciting prospects for advanced energy storage solutions.

Abstract
Solid-state batteries (SSBs) are considered to be one of the most promising candidates for next-generation energy storage systems due to the high safety, high energy density and wide operating temperature range of solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) they use. Unfortunately, the practical application of SSEs has rarely been successful, which is largely attributed to the low chemical stability and ionic conductivity, ineluctable solid-solid interface issues including limited ion transport channels, high energy barriers, and poor interface contact. A comprehensive understanding of ion transport mechanisms of various SSEs, interactions between fillers and polymer matrixes and the role of the interface in SSBs are indispensable for rational design and performance optimization of novel electrolytes. The categories, research advances and ion transport mechanism of inorganic glass/ceramic electrolytes, polymer-based electrolytes and corresponding composite electrolytes are detailly summarized and discussed. Moreover, interface contact and compatibility between electrolyte and cathode/anode are also briefly discussed. Furthermore, the electrochemical characterization methods of SSEs used in different types of SSBs are also introduced. On this basis, the principles and prospects of novel SSEs and interface design are curtly proposed according to the development requirements of SSBs. Moreover, the advanced characterizations for real-time monitoring of interface changes are also brought forward to promote the development of SSBs.

Abstract
The sodium-rich antiperovskites (NaRAPs) with composition Na3OB (B=Br, Cl, I, BH4, etc.) are a family of materials that has recently attracted great interest for application as solid electrolytes in sodium metal batteries. Non-Arrhenius ionic conductivities have been reported for these materials, the origin of which is poorly understood. In this work, we combined temperature-resolved bulk and local characterisation methods to gain an insight into the origin of this unusual behaviour using Na3OBr as a model system. We first excluded crystallographic disorder on the anion sites as the cause of the change in activation energy; then identified the presence of a poorly crystalline impurities, not detectable by XRD, and elucidated their effect on ionic conductivity. These findings improve understanding of the processing-structure-properties relationships pertaining to NaRAPs and highlight the need to determine these relationships in other materials systems, which will accelerate the development of high-performance solid electrolytes.

Abstract
Solid-state electrolytes (SEs) have attracted overwhelming attention as a promising alternative to traditional organic liquid electrolytes (OLEs) for high-energy-density sodium-metal batteries (SMBs), owing to their intrinsic incombustibility, wider electrochemical stability window (ESW), and better thermal stability. Among various kinds of SEs, inorganic solid-state electrolytes (ISEs) stand out because of their high ionic conductivity, excellent oxidative stability, and good mechanical strength, rendering potential utilization in safe and dendrite-free SMBs at room temperature. However, the development of Na-ion ISEs still remains challenging, that a perfect solution has yet to be achieved. Herein, we provide a comprehensive and in-depth inspection of the state-of-the-art ISEs, aiming at revealing the underlying Na+ conduction mechanisms at different length scales, and interpreting their compatibility with the Na metal anode from multiple aspects. A thorough material screening will include nearly all ISEs developed to date, i.e., oxides, chalcogenides, halides, antiperovskites, and borohydrides, followed by an overview of the modification strategies for enhancing their ionic conductivity and interfacial compatibility with Na metal, including synthesis, doping and interfacial engineering. By discussing the remaining challenges in ISE research, we propose rational and strategic perspectives that can serve as guidelines for future development of desirable ISEs and practical implementation of high-performance SMBs.

Abstract
Li-rich antiperovskite materials are promising candidates as inorganic solid electrolytes (ISEs) for all-solid-state Li-ion batteries (ASSLIBs). However, the material faces several pressing issues for its application, concerning the phase stability and electrochemical stability of the synthesized material and the Li-ion transport mechanism in it. Herein, we performed first-principles computational studies on the phase stability, interfacial stability, defect chemistry, and electronic/ionic transport properties of Li2OHBr material. The calculation results show that the Li2OHBr is thermodynamically metastable at 0 K and can be synthesized experimentally. This material exhibits a wider intrinsic electrochemical stability window (0.80-3.15 V) compared with sulfide solid electrolytes. Moreover, the Li2OHBr displays significant chemical stability when in contact with typical cathode materials (LiCoO2, LiMn2O4, LiFePO4) and moisture. The dominant defects of Li2OHBr are predicted to be VLi- and Lii +, corresponding to lower Li-ion migration barriers of 0.38 and 0.49 eV, respectively, while the replacement of some of the OH- by F- is shown to be effective in decreasing migration barriers in Li2OHBr. These findings provide a theoretical framework for further designing high performance ISEs.
