要旨

Understanding the correlation between ionic motion and crystal structure is crucial for improving solid electrolyte conductivities. Several substitution series in the Li10GeP2S12 structure have shown a favorable impact on the ionic conductivity, e.g. the replacement of P(+V) by Sb(+V) in Li10GeP2S12. However, here the interplay between the structure and ionic motion remains elusive. X-Ray diffraction, high-resolution neutron diffraction, Raman spectroscopy and potentionstatic impedance spectroscopy are employed to explore the impact of Sb(+V) on the Li10GeP2S12 structure. The introduction of antimony elongates the unit cell in the c-direction and increases the M(1)/P(1) and Li(2) polyhedral volume. Over the solid solution range, the Li+ distribution remains similar, an inductive effect seems to be absent and the ionic conductivity is comparable for all compositions. The effect of introducing Sb(+V) in Li10GeP2S12 cannot be corroborated.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
