Characterization of quasi-solid electrolytes based on Li₃PS₄ glass with organic carbonate additives

Abstract

Composite quasi-solid electrolytes comprising Li₃PS₄ (LPS) glass and various organic carbonates were prepared, and the effects of these carbonates on the glass were investigated. Compared to LPS glass, the conductivity decreased for composites with highly dielectric cyclic carbonates and increased slightly for composites with a poorly dielectric linear carbonate. Scanning electron microscopy observations indicated that the addition of a poorly dielectric linear carbonate slightly improved the formability of LPS glass.
