Abstract

We have analyzed the hopping movement of a new ionic solid electrolyte by calculating defect formation energies and activation barriers. The role of the lattice during diffusion was established. Thermodynamic properties were determined by means of first principles and phonon calculations at working temperatures. The new solid electrolyte, an antiperovskite, Li3-2xMxAO (in which M is a higher valent cation like Ca2+ or Mg2+ and A is a halide like Cl- or Br- or a mixture of halides), was studied either pure or doped. Moreover, we present experimental ionic conductivity data for these novel solid state ionic conductors for the doped and the pure solid electrolyte from room temperature and up to ∼253 °C. In this paper, we compare the ionic conductivity of the latter solid electrolyte with other fast ionic conductors.
