  Energy storage technologies that can meet the unprecedented demands of a
sustainable energy system based on intermittent energy sources require new
battery materials. We investigate high ionic conductors, Li$_3$ClO glasses. In
the present work we use a first principles method to model the amorphous
structure of the glass. We characterize the structure by means of radial
distribution functions, radial disctributions functions and coordination
numbers. We compare to their crystalline counterparts. The electronic structure
of the glass is compared to that of the crystalline material. The band gap of
the glass appears to be slighly reduced compared to that of the crystal. We
also investigate the chemical stability of the glass against Li metal
electrode. The electrochemical stability of the glassy electrolite is evaluated
against Li metal.
