We explore the potential of novel antiperovskite c-Na3HS to be a solid-state electrolyte for sodium-ion batteries. To investigate the dynamical stability, phase stability, thermal stability, mechanical stability and ionic, electronic and diffusive properties of c-Na3HS, the first-principles methods based on density functional theory (DFT) and ab-initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulations have been employed. c-Na3HS has no imaginary phonon modes indicating its dynamical stability. Key findings include small energy-above-hull, the wide band gap of 4.35 eV and mechanical stability analysis that indicates the moderately hard and a little brittle nature of c-Na3HS. The activation energy of Na in c-Na3HS is calculated to be ~300 meV that reduces to ~ 100 meV on introducing Na-vacancy. The ionic conductivity can be enhanced up to ~3 order of magnitude by vacancy and halogen doping in c-Na3HS structure. Thus, the obtained results indicate that c-Na3HS can be viable option to be utilized as solid-state electrolyte in sodium-ion batteries.

Potential jumps at transport bottlenecks cause instability of nominally ionic solid electrolytes in electrochemical cells
电化学装置如固体氧化物燃料电池(SOFC)、固体氧化物电解槽电池(SOEC)和锂离子电池(LIB)的正常操作有时会由于意外形成内相而失败。这些相包括SOEC的氧化锆电解质内的晶界处的氧气泡、全固态LIB的(石榴石型)Li 7 La 3 Zr 2 O 12电解质内的孤立的Li金属岛以及Na-S电池的Na-β-氧化铝和NASICON电解质内的类似Na金属岛。值得注意的是,虽然这些设备可以在两种极性下工作,但故障的倾向取决于极性。在这里,我们解释这些和其他现象在名义上的离子固体电解质和混合导电电极在简单的热力学和动力学方面:意想不到的内部相是由一个大的潜在的跳跃,需要推动一个恒定的离子或电子流通过其内部传输瓶颈。内相形成的明确规则,包括其极性依赖性制定,以帮助预测和减轻它,这将导致微观结构不稳定,效率恶化和击穿。
