A first-principles based LATP force-field for grain-boundary simulationsSimon Rittmeyer1, Karsten Reuter1, Rüdiger Eichel2, and •Christoph Scheurer11Theoretische Chemie, TU München — 2IEK-9, FZ Jülich

Superionic lithium-ion conductors of NASICON structure are promising solid-state electrolytes (SSE) for all solid-state batteries (ASSB). A detailed multi-modal experimental analysis of carefully sintered Li1+xAlxTi2−x(PO4)3 (LATP, x=0.3) has yielded interesting structural insights and a surprisingly lower ionic conductivity in the amorphous grain boundary interphase than in the grain bulk.[1] Combined with high cycling stability observed in a LATP-based phosphate-backbone ASSB, these findings call for a detailed microscopic understanding. We have constructed a first-principles based force-field which covers stoichiometries x=0… 0.3 and sampled surface slab models representing possible LATP mixed occupancies. DFT computations on large surface models yield first insights into the mechanisms behind the peculiar properties of this material.
