Abstract
The layered material Li<sub>2</sub>Sn<sub>2</sub>S<sub>5</sub> forms two hydrated solid phases under increasing humidity. Intercalated water hydrates the interlayer Li<sup>+</sup> ions and screens coulombic interactions, leading to a high in-plane mobility of both Li<sup>+</sup> and H<sub>2</sub>O.
