[0002] All-solid-state batteries (ALLS) offer higher theoretical energy density and greater safety, making them one of the most promising energy storage technologies. Solid-state electrolytes, key materials in ALLS batteries, largely determine their performance. However, the low ionic conductivity and limited synthesis methods of ALLS electrolytes present major challenges in the development of ALLS batteries. Over many years of research and exploration, researchers have focused on developing various solid-state electrolytes and synthetic routes that confer high ionic conductivity.

[0003] The most common solid electrolytes currently available are oxides, sulfides, polymers, and halides. Among them, halide solid electrolytes have high room-temperature ionic conductivity, a wider electrochemical stability window, and matching compatibility with oxide cathode materials. Although halide solid electrolytes have made significant progress, chloride oxides represent a new frontier that exhibits many excellent properties, such as ultrahigh ionic conductivity and viscoelasticity. Therefore, it is crucial to elucidate their complex structure-property relationships and develop new and effective synthetic routes.

[0004] Similar to the synthesis of other types of solid electrolytes, solid-phase reaction is the most commonly used method for synthesizing halide solid electrolytes, such as mechanical ball milling, annealing, or a combination of the two. The preparation of oxychloride solid electrolytes requires oxygen doping in the starting materials, which can be achieved by adding an oxygen source, heating, or mechanical milling.

[0005] Disadvantages of existing technology:
