Beyond achieving superior superconducting properties, such as a high upper critical magnetic field [<em>μ</em><sub>0</sub><em>H</em><sub><em>c</em>2</sub>(0)], also offer great possibility for future practical applications. In this work, we successfully synthesized the ternary hydride <em>C</em>2/<em>m</em>-(La, Hf)H<sub>10</sub> under moderate pressure with excellent properties. High-pressure electrical transport measurements reveal that <em>C</em>2/<em>m</em>-(La, Hf)H<sub>10</sub> exhibits a maximum superconducting transition temperature (<em>T</em><sub>c</sub>) of 240 K at 162 GPa. Notably, with the incorporation of Hf atom, the <em>μ</em><sub>0</sub><em>H</em><sub><em>c</em>2</sub>(0) reaches 352 T at 150 GPa, representing a 164% enhancement over LaH<sub>10</sub>. Based on fits of the available magnetic measurement data using the WHH model, the extrapolated <em>μ</em><sub>0</sub><em>H</em><sub><em>c</em>2</sub>(0) value for the La-Hf-H system stands among the highest reported for hydride superconductors characterized by this method. This study reports the synthesis of the <em>C</em>2/<em>m</em> phase in ternary lanthanum-based hydrides, a process that does not rely on the decompression-induced transformation of the cubic phase. This finding provides a new approach for modulating the superconducting properties of hydrides.

A distinctive feature of lithium nitrides is the prevalence of mixed-anion compositions, where Li<sup>+</sup> transport is often vacancy-mediated. While charge neutrality couples anion substitution to Li nonstoichiometry, the resulting structure-property relationship between defect chemistry, lattice response, and Li<sup>+</sup> diffusion mechanism remains insufficiently resolved. Moreover, the atomistic interfacial structure and Li<sup>+</sup> transport kinetics at the Li metal||nitride interface remain elusive. Here, we use Li<sub>8</sub>ChN<sub>2</sub> (Ch = Se, Te) as a model framework to explore composition-dependent Li<sup>+</sup> transport physics and clarify how this coupled defect chemistry governs Li<sup>+</sup> mobility and pathway connectivity by combining first-principles calculations and large-scale machine-learned molecular dynamics (MD). While pristine Li<sub>8</sub>ChN<sub>2</sub> exhibit negligible Li<sup>+</sup> diffusion, coupled anion-vacancy tuning in Li<sub>8-<em>x</em></sub>Ch<sub>1+<em>x</em></sub>N<sub>2-<em>x</em></sub> activates facile Li<sup>+</sup> conduction. This tuning simultaneously reduces Li-Li electrostatic constraints and weakens Li-anion binding. These effects soften the lattice, leading to a smaller restoring force and a corresponding reduced potential curvature, which in turn flattens the migration landscape and transforms Li<sup>+</sup> motion from localized intra-cage hopping into a long-range three-dimensional percolation network. We identify a downshift of Li-projected phonon modes as a spectral fingerprint of defect-governed transport. Large-scale MD simulations show that Li metal||Li<sub>7.5</sub>Se<sub>1.5</sub>N<sub>1.5</sub> interfaces remain structurally stable and support rapid Li<sup>+</sup> migration in both in-plane and cross-plane directions. Extending this tuning motif across representative mixed-anion nitrides yields consistent interaction weakening and conductivity enhancement, suggesting a general physical mechanism. Our findings highlight the crucial role of lithium offstoichiometry and defect chemistry in enhancing Li<sup>+</sup> transport and provide insights for the rational design of mixed-anion nitrides as solid electrolytes.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":18253,"journal":{"name":"Materials Today Physics","volume":"64 ","pages":"Article 102118"},"PeriodicalIF":9.7,"publicationDate":"2026-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147851885","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
