Oxide argyrodites are largely unexplored despite sulfide argyrodites being a leading family of solid-state lithium-ion conductors, in which the control of lithium distribution over a wide range of available sites strongly influences the conductivity. We present a new cubic Li-rich (>6 Li+ per formula unit) oxide argyrodite Li7SiO5Cl that crystallizes with an ordered cubic (P213) structure at room temperature, undergoing a transition at 473 K to a Li+ site disordered F4̅3m structure, consistent with the symmetry adopted by superionic sulfide argyrodites. Four different Li+ sites are occupied in Li7SiO5Cl (T5, T5a, T3, and T4), the combination of which is previously unreported for Li-containing argyrodites. The disordered F4̅3m structure is stabilized to room temperature via substitution of Si4+ with P5+ in Li6+xP1–xSixO5Cl (0.3 < x < 0.85) solid solution. The resulting delocalization of Li+ sites leads to a maximum ionic conductivity of 1.82(1) × 10–6 S cm–1 at x = 0.75, which is 3 orders of magnitude higher than the conductivities reported previously for oxide argyrodites. The variation of ionic conductivity with composition in Li6+xP1–xSixO5Cl is directly connected to structural changes occurring within the Li+ sublattice. These materials present superior atmospheric stability over analogous sulfide argyrodites and are stable against Li metal. The ability to control the ionic conductivity through structure and composition emphasizes the advances that can be made with further research in the open field of oxide argyrodites.	Nov 2022
