Although high-voltage-stable halide solid electrolytes (SEs) have emerged, only a few Na+ SEs been developed thus far. Moreover, the use of expensive elements reduces suitability all-solid-state Na-ion batteries (ASNBs). Herein, new mechanochemically prepared orthorhombic NaAlCl4 is demonstrated to exhibit 10-fold enhancement in conductivity (3.9 × 10–6 S cm–1 at 30 °C) compared annealed samples. The feasibility for ASNBs also validated first time. X-ray Rietveld refinement with bond valence...

Structural insights, including the fine structure ZrO2 nanograins embedded an...
Abstract Despite their high energy densities, Li‐rich layered oxides suffer from low capacity retention and continuous voltage decay caused by the migration of transition‐metal cations into Li layers. The cation stabilizes oxidized oxygen anions through decoordination metal once participate in redox reaction. Structural disordering is thus considered inevitable most oxides. However, herein, a Mg‐substituted oxide, 1.2 Mg 0.2 Ru 0.6 O 2 , with structural electrochemical stability presented....
