Technical Selection Guide
How should Li5.5PS4.5Cl1.5, D50 >10 um be selected and tested?
Li5.5PS4.5Cl1.5, D50 >10 um is a sulfide solid electrolyte grade for pressed-pellet, composite-cathode, and lithium-metal interface research. Sulfide powders can provide high ionic conductivity and cold-press densification, but measured performance depends on particle-size distribution, pressure, density, moisture exposure, phase purity, and electrode contact.
Why developers evaluate it
- Cold-pressed pellet and conductivity screening
- Composite-cathode contact and percolation studies
- Lithium-metal interface and pressure-dependence testing
Development considerations
- Use dry, inert handling and appropriate safety controls
- Report pellet pressure, density, thickness, and temperature
- Evaluate electronic conductivity, impurities, and interfacial stability
How to compare it
This grade should be compared with other particle-size variants under identical pressing and EIS conditions. Listed parameters include Particle size: D50 >10 um; Electronic: <= 10^-6 mS/cm; Ionic: >10 mS/cm, cold press. Higher conductivity in a pellet does not by itself establish better composite-electrode or full-cell performance.
