Abstract

Prior calculations have predicted that chalcohalide antiperovskites may exhibit enhanced ionic mobility compared to oxyhalide antiperovskites as solid-state electrolytes. Here, the synthesis of Ag-, Li-, and Na-based chalcohalide antiperovskites is investigated using first-principles calculations and in situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction. These techniques demonstrate that the formation of Ag3SI is facilitated by the adoption of a common body centered cubic packing of S2- and I- in the reactants and products at elevated temperatures, with additional stabilization achieved by the formation of a solid solution of the anions. The absence of these two features appears to hinder the formation of the analogous Li and Na antiperovskites.
