The lithium-argyrodites Li 6 PS 5 X (X = Cl, Br, I) exhibit high lithium-ion conductivities, making them promising candidates for use in solid-state batteries. These solid electrolytes can show considerable substitutional X − /S 2− anion-disorder, with greater disorder typically correlated with higher lithium-ion conductivities. The atomic-scale effects of this anion site-disorder within the host lattice-in particular how lattice disorder modulates the lithium substructure-are not well understood. Here, we characterize the lithium substructure in Li 6 PS 5 X (X = Cl, Br, I) as a function of temperature and anion site-disorder, using Rietveld refinements against temperature-dependent neutron diffraction data. Analysis of these high-resolution diffraction data reveals an additional lithium position previously unreported for Li 6 PS 5 Xargyrodites, suggesting that the lithium conduction pathway in these materials differs from the most common model proposed in earlier studies. Analysis of the Li + positions and their radial distributions reveals that greater inhomogeneityof the local anionic charge, due to X − /S 2− site-disorder, is associated with more spatially-diffuse lithium distributions. This observed coupling of site-disorder and lithium distribution provides a possible explanation for the enhanced lithium transport in anion-disordered lithium argyrodites, and highlights the complex interplay between anion configuration and lithium substructure in this family of superionic conductors.
