Abstract

The reaction of Li2S and P2S5 with Li4[SnS4], a recently discovered, good Li(+) ion conductor, yields Li10SnP2S12, the thiostannate analogue of the record holder Li10GeP2S12 and the second compound of this class of superionic conductors with very high values of 7 mS/cm for the grain conductivity and 4 mS/cm for the total conductivity at 27 °C. The replacement of Ge by Sn should reduce the raw material cost by a factor of ~3.
