Abstract
Amorphous (100-x)Li4SnS4−xAlI3 solid electrolytes (SEs) were prepared via mechanochemical synthesis to study the effect of AlI3 doping on the ionic conductivity and Li-ion dynamics in amorphous Li4SnS4. The structure of the samples was characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM-EDS) and transmission electron microscopy-energy dispersive spectroscopy (TEM-EDS). The ionic conductivity of amorphous 93.33Li4SnS4-6.67AlI3 was ∼1.2 × 10−4 S cm−1 at 30 °C, comparable to that of reported Li4SnS4-based SEs. The effect of AlI3 doping on the conductivity and dielectric properties of the samples was studied through alternating current (AC) impedance spectroscopy analysis. The conductivity analysis suggested that ion formation was the main contributor to the conductivity barrier in the prepared SEs. The developed strategy improved the ionic conductivity of the amorphous Li4SnS4 solid electrolyte.
