Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Solid-state materials containing rotatable polyanions constitute a peculiar class of ionic conductors due to their unique transport behavior, where rotating polyanions promote phase transitions to disordered phases with several orders of magnitude enhancement in cation conductivities. A major drawback is the high temperature required to activate rotation and thereby low conductivities at room temperature. In this study, we elucidate a mechanism to drastically reduce the temperature based on the use of pseudorotation in high-H coordination hydride complexes. We theoretically and experimentally demonstrate this mechanism for an existing complex transition metal hydride containing a hydride complex with ninefold H coordination and we find a strong potential of this material to unprecedentedly exhibit a high lithium ion conductivity at room temperature.
