Li-rich antiperovskite materials are promising candidates as inorganic solid electrolytes (ISEs) for all-solid-state Li-ion batteries (ASSLIBs). However, the material faces several pressing issues for its application, concerning the phase stability and electrochemical stability of the synthesized material and the Li-ion transport mechanism in it. Herein, we performed first-principles computational studies on the phase stability, interfacial stability, defect chemistry, and electronic/ionic transport properties of Li2OHBr material. The calculation results show that the Li2OHBr is thermodynamically metastable at 0 K and can be synthesized experimentally. This material exhibits a wider intrinsic electrochemical stability window (0.80-3.15 V) compared with sulfide solid electrolytes. Moreover, the Li2OHBr displays significant chemical stability when in contact with typical cathode materials (LiCoO2, LiMn2O4, LiFePO4) and moisture. The dominant defects of Li2OHBr are predicted to be VLi- and Lii +, corresponding to lower Li-ion migration barriers of 0.38 and 0.49 eV, respectively, while the replacement of some of the OH- by F- is shown to be effective in decreasing migration barriers in Li2OHBr. These findings provide a theoretical framework for further designing high performance ISEs.
