Abstract

A new, highly conductive (4.1 × 10(-4) S cm(-1) at 30 °C), highly deformable, and dry-air-stable glass 0.4LiI-0.6Li4 SnS4 is prepared using a homogeneous methanol solution. The solution process enables the wetting of any exposed surface of the active materials with highly conductive solidified electrolytes (0.4LiI-0.6Li4 SnS4), resulting in considerable improvements in the electrochemical performance of these electrodes over conventional mixture electrodes.
