High Purity Lithium Sulfide Li2S Purity 99.9% Sulfide Solid Electrolyte Raw Material Lithium Battery Scientific Research Experiment
Material Overview
Li₂S (Lithium Sulfide) is a critical precursor for synthesizing high-performance sulfide solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) like Li₇P₃S₁₁ and Li₁₀GeP₂S₁₂. With 99.9% purity and ultra-low impurity content (<100ppm total metals), this material enables researchers to develop next-generation all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs) with exceptional ionic conductivity (>10 mS/cm) and electrochemical stability (0–5V vs. Li⁺/Li).
