The stability of Li3.8Ge0.9S0.1O4 lithium-conducting solid electrolyte versus lithium metal and Li–V bronze Li1.3V3O8 is studied in the present research. Isothermal heat treatment and thermal analysis of the mixtures of Li1.3V3O8 and Li3.8Ge0.9S0.1O4 powders indicate that there is no interaction between them below 300–350 °C. Moreover, Li3.8Ge0.9S0.1O4 solid electrolyte is stable versus lithium at 100 °C for 240 h. A model of a lithium-ion power source with a Li1.3V3O8-based cathode and a lithium metal anode is assembled and tested. The data obtained show that Li3.8Ge0.9S0.1O4 can be used in all-solid-state medium-temperature lithium and lithium-ion batteries.
