Sulfide Based Solid State Electrolytes: Synthesis, Stability, and Potential for All Solid State Batteries.
Due to their high ionic conductivity and adeciduate mechanical features for lamination, sulfide composites have received increasing attention as solid electrolyte in all solid state batteries. Their smaller electronegativity and binding energy to Li ions and bigger atomic radius provide high ionic conductivity and make them attractive for practical applications. In recent years, noticeable efforts have been made to develop high performance sulfide solid state electrolytes. However, sulfide solid state electrolytes still face numerous challenges including: 1) the need for a higher stability voltage window, 2) a better electrode electrolyte interface and air stability, and 3) a cost effective approach for large scale manufacturing. Herein, a comprehensive update on the properties (structural and chemical) synthesis of sulfide solid state electrolytes, and the development of sulfide based all solid state batteries is provided, including electrochemical and chemical stability, interface stabilization, and their applications in high performance and safe energy storage.
