Li2S-P2S5-based glass-ceramics were prepared by mechanical milling and subsequent heat-treatment. In the systems Li2S-P2S5-GeS2 and Li2S-P2S5-SiS2, the conductivities increased with an increase in the heat-treatment temperature and exhibited high values over 10-3 S•cm-1 after heating at 550 oC. The high conductivities were mainly caused by the formation of superionic crystals analogous to thio-LISICON in the Li3PS4-Li4GeS4 solid solutions. All-solid-state cells such as In-Li / Li4/3Ti5/3O4 using the highly conductive glass-ceramic electrolytes worked at room temperature and maintained high charge-discharge capacities of over 100 mAh•g-1 even at the 300th cycle.
