We report the stabilization of the high-temperature (high-T) phase of lithium carba-closo-decaborate, Li(CB9H10), via the formation of solid solutions in a Li(CB9H10)-Li2(B12H12) quasi-binary system. Li(CB9H10)-based solid solutions in which [CB9H10]− is replaced by [B12H12]2− were obtained at compositions with low x values in the (1−x)Li(CB9H10)−xLi2(B12H12) system. An increase in the extent of [B12H12]2− substitution promoted stabilization of the high-T phase of Li(CB9H10), resulting in an increase in the lithium-ion conductivity. Superionic conductivities of over 10−3 S cm−1 were achieved for the compounds with 0.2 ≤ x ≤ 0.4. In addition, a comparison of the Li(CB9H10)−Li2(B12H12) system and the Li(CB9H10)−Li(CB11H12) system suggests that the valence of the complex anions plays an important role in the ionic conduction. In battery tests, an all-solid-state Li–TiS2 cell employing 0.6Li(CB9H10)−0.4Li2(B12H12) (x = 0.4) as a solid electrolyte presented reversible battery reactions during repeated discharge–charge cycles. The current study offers an insight into strategies to develop complex hydride solid electrolytes.
