About Argyrodite solid electrolyte:

Argyrodites, Li₆PS₅X (X = Cl, Br), are considered to be among the most promising solid-state electrolytes for solid-state batteries.  Argyrodite-type crystalline materials, such as Li₆PS₅Cl, are promising solid electrolytes for all-solid-state lithium-ion batteries because of their high ionic conductivity (up to > 3 mS/cm at room temperature), good processability, and excellent electrochemical stability (> 7V vs lithium). With its proprietary technology, Ampcera Inc. is the first company in the world that has successfully commercialized the Argyrodite-type Li₆PS₅Cl solid electrolyte material with a production capacity of more than one metric ton per year. Please contact us for bulk order discount. Customized processing is also available to meet the technical specifications requested by customers.
