Abstract: Provided herein are composite materials that include an ionically conductive inorganic solid particulate phase and an organic polymer phase. The ionically conductive inorganic solid particular phase includes an alklai metal argyrodite.

Abstract: Core/shell ionically-conductive particles are disclosed. The core particles contain reduced titanium-based or zirconium-based electrolyte materials, and the shells are electronically-insulating. The core/shell particles can be combined with organic electrolytes to form composite organic-ceramic electrolytes that can be used in lithium battery cells. Such composite organic-ceramic electrolytes have been found to have improved lithium transport properties when compared to similar composite electrolytes made with oxidized titanium-based (Ti4+) or zirconium-based (Zn4+) electrolytes.

The core/shell particles can be combined with organic electrolytes to form composite organic-ceramic electrolytes that can be used in lithium battery cells. Such composite organic-ceramic electrolytes have been found to have improved lithium transport properties when compared to similar composite electrolytes made with ceramic electrolyte particles that do not have electronically-conductive shells.
