| contents | With the rapid development of energy storage technology, high-performance solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) have become critical for next-generation lithium-ion batteries. These materials require high ionic conductivity, excellent electrochemical stability, and good mechanical properties to meet the demands of electric vehicles and portable electronics. However, traditional methods like density functional theory (DFT) and empirical force fields face challenges such as high computational costs, poor scalability, and limited accuracy across material systems. Universal machine learning interatomic potentials (uMLIPs) offer a promising solution with their efficiency and near-DFT-level accuracy.This study systematically evaluates six advanced uMLIP models (MatterSim, MACE, SevenNet, CHGNet, M3GNet, and ORBFF) in terms of energy, forces, thermodynamic properties, elastic moduli, and lithium-ion diffusion behavior. The results show that MatterSim outperforms others in nearly all metrics, particularly in complex material systems, demonstrating superior accuracy and physical consistency. Other models exhibit significant deviations due to issues like energy inconsistency or insufficient training data coverage.Further analysis reveals that MatterSim achieves excellent agreement with reference values in lithium-ion diffusivity calculations, especially at room temperature. Studies on Li3YCl6 and Li6PS5Cl uncover how crystal structure, anion disorder levels, and Na/Li arrangements influence ionic conductivity. Appropriate S/Cl disorder levels and optimized Na/Li arrangements enhance diffusion pathway connectivity, improving overall ionic transport performance. |
