Br6LiNa2Y
Br6LiNa2Y is an insulating halide compound being studied for its potential role as a solid electrolyte in battery technology.
About Br6LiNa2Y
Br6LiNa2Y is a complex halide compound classified within the family of potential solid electrolytes. As a wide-band-gap insulator, it exhibits the electronic characteristics typical of materials intended for ion-conducting applications, though its thermodynamic stability indicates it exists above the hull, suggesting it may be meta-stable or difficult to synthesize in pure form. The material is of interest to researchers investigating new ionic conductors for energy storage. Its structural complexity is highlighted by its presence in multiple databases, reflecting ongoing efforts to map the phase space of lithium-containing halide frameworks.
Key Properties
Cross-validated computational properties for Br6LiNa2Y, aggregated across 3 databases.
Band GapEnergy needed to move an electron from the valence band to the conduction band. Lower or zero values tend to behave more metallic; larger gaps are more insulating or semiconducting.
Energy Above HullThermodynamic distance from the most stable set of competing phases. 0 eV/atom is on the convex hull; small positive values may still be experimentally accessible.
StabilityA plain-language summary of the best reported energy-above-hull result. It reflects whether the lowest-energy structure is on, near, or far from the stability hull.

How It Compares
Within the halide solid electrolytes class.
Compared to more established halide electrolytes like Br12In2Li6 or Cl12Li6Sc2, Br6LiNa2Y represents a more exotic composition. While many members of this class are explored for their high ionic conductivity, this specific compound's position above the thermodynamic hull makes it a more challenging candidate for practical implementation than the more stable, well-characterized halide structures found in the same family.
