    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for making a solid-state argyrodite electrolyte represented by Li6PS5X (where X is selected from chloride, bromide, iodine, or a combination thereof) having an ionic conductivity greater than or equal to about 1.0×10−4 S/cm to less than or equal to about 10×10−3 S/cm at about 25° C. The method may include contacting a first suspension and a first solution to form a precursor, where the first suspension is a Li3PS4 suspension including an ester solvent and the first solution is a Li2S and LiX (where X is selected from chloride, bromide, or iodine, or a combination thereof) solution including an alcohol solvent; and removing the ester solvent and the alcohol solvent from the precursor to form the solid-state argyrodite electrolyte.
