Abstract

We investigate the electronic structure of interstitial Li and Li vacancy in Li10GeP2S12 by first principles calculations. We find that the Li vacancy and interstitial Li+ ion do not introduce states in the band gap hence they do not deteriorate the electronic properties of Li10GeP2S12. The energy barrier for Li interstitial diffusion in Li10GeP2S12 is estimated to be 1.4 eV, which is much larger than that of the Li vacancy in Li10GeP2S12. This fact suggests that the ion conductivity arises from the migration of Li vacancy.
