Abstract

Developing high-performance solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) is of great significance for addressing the foundational scientific issues of K-ion batteries and accelerating their transition to practical applications. The complex experimental explorations are time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the technical barriers in phase synthesis have hindered the development speed of potassium SSEs. In this study, we studied the effect of Cl-doping on the K-ion diffusion rate of K₃SbS₄ via deep molecular dynamics. To reduce the quantum fluctuation phenomena during the simulation process, we simulated a system composed of approximately 3400 atoms for 500 ps and averaged the results over five runs. The results of the MD simulation show that Cl doping can induce the generation of potassium vacancies, and a small amount of doping can convert K₃SbS₄ from an ionic insulator to a superionic conductor with an ionic conductivity of 14.8 mS/cm at 300 K. The cubic K_3–xSbS_4–xCl_x is a promising candidate for potassium SSEs for K-ions.

期刊介绍： The journal Chemistry of Materials focuses on publishing original research at the intersection of materials science and chemistry. The studies published in the journal involve chemistry as a prominent component and explore topics such as the design, synthesis, characterization, processing, understanding, and application of functional or potentially functional materials. The journal covers various areas of interest, including inorganic and organic solid-state chemistry, nanomaterials, biomaterials, thin films and polymers, and composite/hybrid materials. The journal particularly seeks papers that highlight the creation or development of innovative materials with novel optical, electrical, magnetic, catalytic, or mechanical properties. It is essential that manuscripts on these topics have a primary focus on the chemistry of materials and represent a significant advancement compared to prior research. Before external reviews are sought, submitted manuscripts undergo a review process by a minimum of two editors to ensure their appropriateness for the journal and the presence of sufficient evidence of a significant advance that will be of broad interest to the materials chemistry community.
