Research question
How do oxygen and sulfur change the framework of Zr-based halide electrolytes and accelerate lithium-ion transport?
Key result
Divalent-anion clustering distorts the framework and changes Li–Cl bonding, reducing the barriers to lithium migration. Oxygen- and sulfur-containing compositions reached 1.78 and 1.01 mS cm⁻¹ at 25 °C, respectively.
Research contribution
Jae-Seung Kim and Dong-Hwa Seo designed the study. The group combined synthesis, electrochemical measurements and first-principles calculations to explain the transport mechanism, working with collaborators on structural characterization.
