To enable the development of all-solid-state batteries, an inorganic solid-state electrolyte should demonstrate high ionic conductivity (i.e., > 1 mS cm -1 at 25 °C), compressibility (e.g., > 90% density under 250-350 MPa), and cost-effectiveness (e.g., < $50/kg). Here we report the development and preparation of Li 1.75 ZrCl 4.75 O 0.5 oxychloride solid-state electrolyte that demonstrates an ionic conductivity of 2.42 mS cm -1 at 25 °C, a compressibility enabling 94.2% density under 300 MPa and an estimated raw materials cost of $11.60/kg. As proof of concept, the Li 1.75 ZrCl 4.75 O 0.5 is tested in combination with a LiNi 0.8 Mn 0.1 Co 0.1 O 2 -based positive electrode and a Li 6 PS 5 Cl-coated Li-In negative electrode in lab-scale cell configuration. This all-solid-state cell delivers a discharge capacity retention of 70.34% (final discharge capacity of 70.2 mAh g -1 ) after 2082 cycles at 1 A g -1 , 25 °C and 1.5 tons of stacking pressure.
