Re-investigating the structure-property relationship of the solid electrolytes Li In Zr Cl and the impact of In-Zr(iv) substitution.

Chloride-based solid electrolytes are considered interesting candidates for catholytes in all-solid-state batteries due to their high electrochemical stability, which allows the use of high-voltage cathodes without protective coatings. Aliovalent Zr(iv) substitution is a widely applicable strategy to increase the ionic conductivity of LiM(iii)Cl solid electrolytes. In this study, we investigate how Zr(iv) substitution affects the structure and ion conduction in Li In Zr Cl (0 ≤ ≤ 0.
