Abstract

Improvement in the mechanical properties of solid-state electrolytes for batteries is needed. Fracture toughness (KIc) is emerging as a determining factor for evaluating the performance of solid-state batteries by quantifying the resistance to crack propagation. We have measured KIc by means of the SEPB method1 for lithium borophosphate (LiBP, xLi2O-(100-x)(0.5B2O3-0.5P2O5), x = 38, 40, 42.5, 45 for specific) glassy electrolytes. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations combined with bond switching2, rings statistic3, and persistent homology analyses have been used to reveal the atomic origin of the variation in fracture toughness and ionic conductivity with composition.
