Here, we investigate the specific heat and thermal conductivity of Li3/8Sr7/16Hf1/4Ta3/4O3 (LSHT), a promising perovskite-type lithium-ion conductor. We found that LSHT exhibits glass-like thermal behavior with a low thermal conductivity of 1.7 ± 0.5 W m-1 K-1 at room temperature, comparable to some amorphous materials yet distinct from typical crystalline perovskites. Our theoretical analysis indicates that diffusons contribute significantly to heat transfer within this highly disordered material. These findings provide crucial insights into thermal transport in LSHT, which are essential for effective thermal management in all-solid-state batteries utilizing this material.","PeriodicalId":67,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Communications","volume":"4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2025-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145182602","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Unlike many PSM methods relying on non-covalent or covalent modifications, SALI introduces functional ligands through direct dative bonds, making it broadly applicable in catalysis, gas separation, drug delivery, and beyond.
