Optimized Interfaces in Anti-Perovskite Electrolyte-Based Solid-State Lithium Metal Batteries for Enhanced Performance.

ABSTRACT: Solid-state lithium metal batteries have attracted broad interest as a promising energy storage technology because of the high energy density and enhanced safety that are highly desired in the markets of consumer electronics and electric vehicles. However, there are still many challenges before the practical application of the new battery. One of the major challenges is the poor interface between lithium metal electrodes and solid electrolytes, which eventually lead to the exceptionally high internal resistance of the cells and limited output. The interface issue arises largely due to the poor contact between solid and solid, and the mechanical/electrochemical instability of the interface. In this work, an in situ "welding" strategy is developed to address the interfacial issue in solid-state batteries. Microliter-level of liquid electrolyte is transformed into an organic-inorganic composite buffer layer, offering a flexible and stable interface and promoting enhanced electrochemical performance. Symmetric lithium-metal batteries with the new interface demonstrate good cycling performance for 400 h and withstand the current density of 0.4 mA cm^-2. Full batteries developed with lithium-metal anode and LiFePO₄ cathode also demonstrate significantly improved cycling endurance and capacity retention.

Nonflammable quasi-solid-state electrolyte for stable lithium-metal batteries.

Project description:Rechargeable lithium batteries with high-voltage/capacity cathodes are regarded as promising high-energy-density energy-storage systems. Nevertheless, these systems are restricted by some critical challenges, such as flammable electrolyte, lithium dendrite formation and rapid capacity fade at high voltage and elevated temperature. In this work, we report a quasi-solid-state composite electrolyte (QCE) prepared by in situ polymerization reactions. The electrolyte consists of polymer matrix, inorganic filler, nonflammable plasticizers and Li salt, and shows a good thermal stability, a moderate ionic conductivity of 2.8 × 10-4 S cm-1 at 25 °C, and a wide electrochemical window up to 6.7 V. The batteries with the QCE show good electrochemical performance when coupled with lithium metal anode and LiCoO2 or LiNi0.8Mn0.1Co0.1O2 cathodes. Pouch-type batteries with the QCE also exhibit stable cycling, and can tolerate abuse testes such as folding, cutting and nail penetration. The in situ formed fluorides and phosphides from the plasticizers stabilize the interfaces between the QCE and electrodes, which enables stable cycling of Li metal batteries.

Thin Solid Electrolyte Separators for Solid-State Lithium-Sulfur Batteries.

Project description:The lithium-sulfur battery is one of the most promising "beyond Li-ion" battery chemistries owing to its superior gravimetric energy density and low cost. Nonetheless, its commercialization has been hindered by its low cycle life due to the polysulfide shuttle and nonuniform Li-metal plating and stripping. Thin and dense solid electrolyte separators could address these issues without compromising on energy density. Here, we introduce a novel argyrodite (Li6PS5Cl)-carboxylated nitrile butadiene rubber (XNBR) composite thin solid electrolyte separator (TSE) (<50 μm) processed by a scalable calendering technique and compatible with Li-metal. When integrated in a full cell with a commercial tape-cast sulfur cathode (3.54 mgS cm-2) in the presence of an in situ polymerized lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide-polydioxolane catholyte and a 100 μm Li-metal foil anode, we demonstrate stable cycling for 50 cycles under realistic operating conditions (stack pressure of <1 MPa and 30 °C).

Uncoordinated chemistry enables highly conductive and stable electrolyte/filler interfaces for solid-state lithium-sulfur batteries.

Project description:Composite-polymer-electrolytes (CPEs) embedded with advanced filler materials offer great promise for fast and preferential Li+ conduction. The filler surface chemistry determines the interaction with electrolyte molecules and thus critically regulates the Li+ behaviors at the interfaces. Herein, we probe into the role of electrolyte/filler interfaces (EFI) in CPEs and promote Li+ conduction by introducing an unsaturated coordination Prussian blue analog (UCPBA) filler. Combining scanning transmission X-ray microscope stack imaging studies and first-principle calculations, fast Li+ conduction is revealed only achievable at a chemically stable EFI, which can be established by the unsaturated Co-O coordination in UCPBA to circumvent the side reactions. Moreover, the as-exposed Lewis-acid metal centers in UCPBA efficiently attract the Lewis-base anions of Li salts, which facilitates the Li+ disassociation and enhances its transference number (tLi+). Attributed to these superiorities, the obtained CPEs realize high room-temperature ionic conductivity up to 0.36 mS cm-1 and tLi+ of 0.6, enabling an excellent cyclability of lithium metal electrodes over 4,000 h as well as remarkable capacity retention of 97.6% over 180 cycles at 0.5 C for solid-state lithium-sulfur batteries. This work highlights the crucial role of EFI chemistry in developing highly conductive CPEs and high-performance solid-state batteries.

High-Humidity-Tolerant Chloride Solid-State Electrolyte for All-Solid-State Lithium Batteries.

Project description:Halide solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) hold promise for the commercialization of all-solid-state lithium batteries (ASSLBs); however, the currently cost-effective zirconium-based chloride SSEs suffer from hygroscopic irreversibility, low ionic conductivity, and inadequate thermal stability. Herein, a novel indium-doped zirconium-based chloride is fabricated to satisfy the abovementioned requirements, achieving outstanding-performance ASSLBs at room temperature. Compared to the conventional Li2ZrCl6 and Li3InCl6 SSEs, the hc-Li2+xZr1-xInxCl6 (0.3 ≤ x ≤ 1) possesses higher ionic conductivity (up to 1.4 mS cm-1), and thermal stability (350 °C). At the same time, the hc-Li2.8Zr0.2In0.8Cl6 also shows obvious hygroscopic reversibility, where its recovery rate of the ionic conductivity is up to 82.5% after 24-h exposure in the 5% relative humidity followed by heat treatment. Theoretical calculation and experimental results reveal that those advantages are derived from the lattice expansion and the formation of Li3InCl6 ·2H2O hydrates, which can effectively reduce the migration energy barrier of Li ions and offer reversible hydration/dehydration pathway. Finally, an ASSLB, assembled with reheated-Li2.8Zr0.2In0.8Cl6 after humidity exposure, single-crystal LiNi0.8Mn0.1Co0.1O2 and Li-In alloy, exhibits capacity retention of 71% after 500 cycles under 1 C at 25 °C. This novel high-humidity-tolerant chloride electrolyte is expected to greatly carry forward the ASSLBs industrialization.

Methylamine Lithium Borohydride as Electrolyte for All-Solid-State Batteries.

Project description:Fast Li-ion conductivity at room temperature is a major challenge for utilization of all-solid-state Li batteries. Metal borohydrides with neutral ligands are a new emerging class of solid-state ionic conductors, and here we report the discovery of a new mono-methylamine lithium borohydride with very fast Li+ conductivity at room temperature. LiBH4 ⋅CH3 NH2 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21 /c, forming a two-dimensional unique layered structure. The layers are separated by hydrophobic -CH3 moieties, and contain large voids, allowing for fast Li-ionic conduction in the interlayers, σ(Li+ )=1.24×10-3 S cm-1 at room temperature. The electronic conductivity is negligible, and the electrochemical stability is ≈2.1 V vs Li. The first all-solid-state battery using a lithium borohydride with a neutral ligand as the electrolyte, Li-metal as the anode and TiS2 as the cathode is demonstrated.

A Stretchable and Safe Polymer Electrolyte with a Protecting-Layer Strategy for Solid-State Lithium Metal Batteries.

Project description:An elastic and safe electrolyte is demanded for flexible batteries. Herein, a stretchable solid electrolyte comprised of crosslinked elastic polymer matrix, poly(vinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF-HFP), and flameproof triethyl phosphate (TEP) is fabricated, which exhibits ultrahigh elongation of 450%, nonflammability and ionic conductivity above 1 mS cm-1. In addition, in order to improve the interface compatibility between the electrolyte and Li anode and stabilize the solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI), a protecting layer containing poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) is designed to effectively prevent the anode from reacting with TEP and optimize the chemical composition in SEI, leading to a tougher and more stable SEI on the anode. The LiFePO4/Li cells employing this double-layer electrolyte exhibit an 85.0% capacity retention after 300 cycles at 1 C. Moreover, a flexible battery based on this solid electrolyte is fabricated, which can work in stretched, folded, and twisted conditions. This design of a stretchable double-layer solid electrolyte provides a new concept for safe and flexible solid-state batteries.

Delocalized Lithium Ion Flux by Solid-State Electrolyte Composites Coupled with 3D Porous Nanostructures for Highly Stable Lithium Metal Batteries.

Project description:This work investigates the root cause of failure with the ultimate anode, Li metal, when employing conventional/composite separators and/or porous anodes. Then a feasible route of utilizing Li metal is presented. Our operando and microscopy studies have unveiled that Li+ flux passing through the conventional separator is not uniform, resulting in preferential Li plating/stripping. Porous anodes alone are subject to clogging with moderate- or high-loading cathodes. Here we discovered it is necessary to seek synergy from our separator and anode pair to deliver delocalized Li+ to the anode and then uniformly plate Li metal over the large surface areas of the porous anode. Our polymer composite separator containing a solid-state electrolyte (SE) can provide numerous Li+ passages through the percolated SE and pore networks. Our finite element analysis and comparative tests disclosed the synergy between the homogeneous Li+ flux and current density reduction on the anode. Our composite separators have induced compact and uniform Li plating with robust inorganic-rich solid electrolyte interphase layers. The porous anode decreased the nucleation overpotential and interfacial contact impedance during Li plating. Full cell tests with LiFePO4 and Li[Ni0.8Mn0.1Co0.1]O2 (NMC811) exhibited remarkable cycling behaviors: ∼80% capacity retention at the 750th and 235th cycle, respectively. A high-loading NMC811 (4 mAh cm-2) full cell displayed maximum cell-level energy densities of 334 Wh kg-1 and 783 Wh L-1. This work proposes a solution for raising energy density by adopting Li metal, which could be a viable option considering only incremental advancement in conventional cathodes lately.

Microporous Metal-Organic Framework (MOF)-Based Composite Polymer Electrolyte (CPE) Mitigating Lithium Dendrite Formation in All-Solid-State-Lithium Batteries.

Project description:Poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO)-based composite polymer electrolytes (CPEs) containing the amine-functionalized, zirconium-based metal-organic framework @silica (UiO-66-NH2@SiO2) and lithium, LiN(CF3SO2)2 salt (LiTFSI) are prepared using a simple hot press method. The electrochemical properties such as compatibility of the electrolyte with the Li metal anode, Li transference number, and ionic conductivity are investigated for the different systems containing different relative concentrations of the additives. The incorporation of UiO-66-NH2@SiO2 in the PEO-LiTFSI matrix not only enhanced ionic conductivity by one order of magnitude but also offered better compatibility and suppressed the formation of lithium dendrites appreciably. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy studies on post-cycled materials revealed the formation of lithium alkoxide (RO-Li) on the cathode and Li2O on the anode. The coin cell (2032-type) consisting of LiFePO4/CPE/Li with UiO-66-NH2@SiO2 as filler provided a discharge capacity of 151 mA h g-1 at 0.1 C-rate at 60 °C, measurably higher than control experiments utilizing SiO2 and UiO-66-NH2. The notable enhancement of electrochemical properties when incorporating the UiO-66-NH2@SiO2 at the CPE was attributed to formation of more uniform ion conduction pockets and channels within the PEO matrix, facilitated by the presence of the microporous UiO-66-NH2@SiO2. The enhanced distribution of microporous channels, where Li ions are assumed to percolate through within the matrix, is assumed to desirably reduce formation of Li dendrites by increasing diffusion channels and therefore reducing crystallization and growth of dendrites at the electrode surface.

Engineered interfaces between perovskite La2/3xLi3xTiO3 electrolyte and Li metal for solid-state batteries.

Project description:Perovskite La2/3xLi3xTiO3 (LLTO) materials are promising solid-state electrolytes for lithium metal batteries (LMBs) due to their intrinsic fire-resistance, high bulk ionic conductivity, and wide electrochemical window. However, their commercialization is hampered by high interfacial resistance, dendrite formation, and instability against Li metal. To address these challenges, we first prepared highly dense LLTO pellets with enhanced microstructure and high bulk ionic conductivity of 2.1×10-4 S cm-1 at room temperature. Then, the LLTO pellets were coated with three polymer-based interfacial layers, including pure (polyethylene oxide) (PEO), dry polymer electrolyte of PEO-LITFSI (lithium bis (trifluoromethanesulfonyl) imide) (PL), and gel PEO-LiTFSI-SN (succinonitrile) (PLS). It is found that each layer has impacted the interface differently; the soft PLS gel layer significantly reduced the total resistance of LLTO to a low value of 84.88 Ω cm-2. Interestingly, PLS layer has shown excellent ionic conductivity but performs inferior in symmetric Li cells. On the other hand, the PL layer significantly reduces lithium nucleation overpotential and shows a stable voltage profile after 20 cycles without any sign of Li dendrite formation. This work demonstrates that LLTO electrolytes with denser microstructure could reduce the interfacial resistance and when combined with polymeric interfaces show improved chemical stability against Li metal.

HKUST-1@IL-Li Solid-state Electrolyte with 3D Ionic Channels and Enhanced Fast Li+ Transport for Lithium Metal Batteries at High Temperature.

Project description:The challenge of safety problems in lithium batteries caused by conventional electrolytes at high temperatures is addressed in this study. A novel solid electrolyte (HKUST-1@IL-Li) was fabricated by immobilizing ionic liquid ([EMIM][TFSI]) in the nanopores of a HKUST-1 metal-organic framework. 3D angstrom-level ionic channels of the metal-organic framework (MOF) host were used to restrict electrolyte anions and acted as "highways" for fast Li+ transport. In addition, lower interfacial resistance between HKUST-1@IL-Li and electrodes was achieved by a wetted contact through open tunnels at the atomic scale. Excellent high thermal stability up to 300 °C and electrochemical properties are observed, including ionic conductivities and Li+ transference numbers of 0.68 × 10-4 S·cm-1 and 0.46, respectively, at 25 °C, and 6.85 × 10-4 S·cm-1 and 0.68, respectively, at 100 °C. A stable Li metal plating/stripping process was observed at 100 °C, suggesting an effectively suppressed growth of Li dendrites. The as-fabricated LiFePO4/HKUST-1@IL-Li/Li solid-state battery exhibits remarkable performance at high temperature with an initial discharge capacity of 144 mAh·g-1 at 0.5 C and a high capacity retention of 92% after 100 cycles. Thus, the solid electrolyte in this study demonstrates promising applicability in lithium metal batteries with high performance under extreme thermal environmental conditions.
