Energy storage technologies that can meet the unprecedented demands of a sustainable energy system based on intermittent sources require new battery materials. In recent years, superionic conducting glasses have been discovered captured attention community due to their potential use as solid electrolytes for all-solid-state Li-ion batteries. New research is needed understand correlations between non-crystalline structure and advanced properties. Here we investigate structural properties, electronic electrochemical stability against Li metal high ionic 3 ClO glass. We stochastic quenching method first principles theory model amorphous characterise by means radial distribution functions, angle distributions bond lengths coordination numbers.
