Polyborane salts based on B12H122-, B10H102-, CB11H12-, and CB9H10- demonstrate high Li and Na superionic conductivity that makes them attractive as electrolytes in all-solid-state batteries. Their chemical and structural diversity creates a versatile design space that could be used to optimize materials with higher conductivity at lower temperatures; however, many mechanistic details remain enigmatic, including reasons why certain known modifications lead to improved performance. We use extensive ab initio molecular dynamics simulations to explore the dependence of ionic conductivity on cation/anion pair combinations for Li and Na polyborane salts. Further simulations are used to probe the influence of local modifications to chemistry, stoichiometry, and composition. Carbon doping, anion alloying, and cation off-stoichiometry are found to favorably introduce intrinsic disorder, facilitating local deviation from the expected cation population. Lattice expansion likewise has a positive effect by aiding anion reorientations that are critical for conduction. Implications for engineering polyboranes for improved ionic conductivity are discussed.
