<p dir="ltr">Solid electrolytes are important for realizing all-solid-state lithium batteries and improving their performance. In this study, lithium-ion conducting glasses and glass-ceramics in the pseudo-ternary system Li<sub>3</sub>PS<sub>4</sub>–Li<sub>4</sub>SnS<sub>4</sub>–LiI are prepared using the mechanochemical method and subsequent heat treatment. The glass-ceramic 67(0.75Li<sub>3</sub>PS<sub>4</sub>·0.25Li<sub>4</sub>SnS<sub>4</sub>)·33LiI (mol%) electrolyte exhibits a high conductivity of 6.8 × 10<sup>−3</sup> S cm<sup>−1</sup> at 25 °C because of the precipitation of a Li<sub>10</sub>GeP<sub>2</sub>S<sub>12</sub> (LGPS)-analog phase. The LGPS-analog phase is formed by adding LiI to the Li<sub>3</sub>PS<sub>4</sub>–Li<sub>4</sub>SnS<sub>4</sub> system. An all-solid-state cell developed using a glass-ceramic electrolyte operates stably at room temperature.</p>
