Li3BO3 and Li3BN2
materials have promising properties for use in all solid-state batteries
and other
technologies dependent on electrolytes with significant ionic conductivity.
Paper I explores the mechanizes for significant ionic conductivity and also
the stability of the materials relative a pure Li metal interface. Paper II
studies structural properties of these materials. Particularly, a modified
structure of α-Li3BN2 is found to be dynamically
stable compared with the structure reported in the literature.
