Halide electrolytes in solid-state batteries with excellent oxidative stability and high ionic conductivity have been well reported recently. However, the high-cost rare-earth elements and long duration of high-rotation milling procure are the major obstacles. Herein, we have successfully synthesized the low cost Li_2.25Zr_0.75Fe_0.25Cl₆ electrolyte consisting of abundant elements with comparable Li-ion conductivity in a short milling duration of 4 h. Phase transition of the annealed sample was also carefully investigated. LiNi_0.6Co_0.2Mn_0.2O₂/Li_2.25Zr_0.75Fe_0.25Cl₆/Li_5.5PS_4.5Cl_1.5/In-Li batteries using different halide electrolytes were constructed and cycled at different voltage windows. Solid-state battery using Li_2.25Zr_0.75Fe_0.25Cl₆ electrolyte obtained from long milling duration delivers higher discharge capacities and superior capacity retention than shorter milling time between 3.0 and 4.3 V. It delivers much higher discharge capacity when cycled at elevated temperature (60 ℃) and suffers fast capacity degradation when the upper cut-off voltage increases to 4.5 V at the same current density. This work provides an efficiency synthesis strategy for halide solid electrolyte and studies its applications in all-solid-state batteries in a wide temperature range.
