a The Arrhenius plots of Li+xYxZr-xCl6 Li2+xYxZr1-xCl6 (x = 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, and 0.7) samples co-melted at 550 °C for 2 h. b The Arrhenius plots of LYZC samples at different holding times (0.5, 1, 2, and 12 h). c The Arrhenius plots of quenched sample YZr-Q and slowly cooled sample YZr-N. d Comparison of ionic conductivities of Li2+xYxZr1-xCl6 (x = 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, and 0.7) samples co-melted at 550 °C for 2 h (top) and comparison of ionic conductivities of LYZC samples at different holding times (0.5, 1, 2, and 12 h) (bottom). Inset: Photograph of LYZC in the molten state after 2 h of holding. e XRD patterns of the Li2+xYxZr1-xCl6 (x = 0.4, 0.5, 0.6 and 0.7) samples.
