A novel lithium-ion conductor Li7Ge3PS12 was detected. This was achieved through slow cooling of the ternary Li2S–GeS2–P2S5 system. This novel conductor revealed a cubic argyrodite-type structure. Li7Ge3PS12 exhibited a high ionic conductivity of 1.1×10−4 S cm−1 at 25 °C. These properties will aid in the design of superior lithium-ion conductors.
