Sb-based lithium sulfide electrolytes are promising for all-solid-state lithium battery applications due to their ultrahigh Li-ion conductivity (10−2 S/cm) which is even comparable to current liquid electrolytes. However, the poor electrochemical stability between this electrolyte and high voltage layered structure cathode makes it difficult to achieve excellent battery performances. Herein, Li6.5Sb0.5Ge0.5S5I electrolyte with ionic conductivity up to 10 m S/cm is successfully synthesized and the electrochemical failure mechanism of the corresponding battery using bare LiNi0.6Mn0.2Co0.2O2 cathode and Li-In anode is revealed. Furthermore, Li3InCl6 electrolyte is introduced both as an ionic additive in the cathode mixture and as an isolating layer to avoid side reactions. The designed configuration delivers a high discharge capacity of 162.7 mAh/g at 0.5C and sustains 74.5% of the capacity after 200 cycles at room temperature. Moreover, it also can reversibly cycle from -20 to 60 °C with superior battery performances. This work provides a general design strategy for utilizing highly conductive sulfide electrolytes with low stability in all-solid-state batteries. Graphical abstract Introducing the Li3InCl6 electrolyte as an ionic additive in the cathode mixture and as an isolation layer to evade side reactions, an all-solid-state lithium battery with excellent electrochemical performance has been fabricated.
