Halide electrolyte

A newer solid electrolyte family of lithium metal chlorides and bromides, stable at the high voltage of layered oxide cathodes where sulfides decompose, but unstable against lithium metal. Cells often pair a halide catholyte with a sulfide separator.

Also called
Li₃YCl₆, Li₃InCl₆

Example

Electrolytes and separators: an example situation

Greater liquid uptake may improve wetting while changing mechanical behavior. Several properties define separator performance.

Read Halide electrolyte alongside LLZO in this context. The leading oxide solid electrolyte, a garnet-structured Li₇La₃Zr₂O₁₂ stable against lithium metal. It conducts about 1 mS/cm but is brittle and needs sintering above 1000 °C, which drives its production route.

Use in Lemonergy

Connect transport with electronic isolation.

This is a reference concept. No executable Lemonergy block has been verified for this term.
