However, most of them suffer from poor stability in air. Here, we explore the air stable sulfide solid electrolytes in Li4-xSbxSn1-xS4 system. The solid solutions of Li4-xSbxSn1-xS4(0 ≤ x ≤ 0.5) can be formed in Li4-xSbxSn1-xS4 system. Li3.8 Sb0.2 Sn0.8 S4 achieves the highest ionic conductivity of 3.5 × 10-4 S cm-1 in this system,which is 5 times as that of Li4 Sn S4 and 3 orders of magnitude higher than that of Li3 Sb S4, respectively. Li3.8 Sb0.2 Sn0.8 S4 crystallizes into the same structure with high ionic conductivity phase of β-Li3 PS4. Moreover, Li3.8 Sb0.2 Sn0.8 S4 owns good stability in humid air. Matching with LiCoO2 and Li4 Ti5 O12,Li3.8 Sb0.2 Sn0.8 S4 exhibits the potential to be applied in all-solid-state batteries.展开更多
