Stabilizing the cubic phase of Li7La3Zr2O12 (LLZO) through doping has been a challenging issue, as conventional aliovalent dopants often decrease Li ion mobility and induce unwanted phase transformations. In this study, a novel multi-component doping strategy is proposed that stabilizes the cubic phase of LLZO while maintaining high Li ion mobility. The practical isovalent ions and their combinations are screened using density-functional theory (DFT) calculations and ab-initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulations, identifying the most stable multi-component alloy configuration that can stabilize the robust cubic phase of LLZO. Our results demonstrate that the proposed Li7La3(Zr, Hf, Ce, Ru)2O12 composition has a stable cubic phase at low temperatures, which we validated through experimental synthesis. Our proposed doping strategy has the potential to advance the development of high-performance all-solid-state batteries.
