Fig. 1: Raw-material cost of Li2ZrCl6 and the state-of-the-art chloride solid electrolytes.
From: A cost-effective and humidity-tolerant chloride solid electrolyte for lithium batteries
a Estimated unit prices of different chlorides when purchased in the quantity of 1000 kg. These chemicals are the raw materials needed to synthesize different chloride solid electrolytes. The bulk prices plotted here are also listed in Supplementary Table 3, and the laboratory-scale prices used to estimate these bulk prices are provided in Supplementary Table 4. b Abundance of the corresponding non-Li element in Earth’s crust28.
