Lithium-ion conductive ceramic textile: A new architecture for flexible solid-state lithium metal batteries

Journal Article · · Materials Today
Designing solid-state lithium metal batteries requires fast lithium-ion conductors, good electrochemical stability, and scalable processing approaches to device integration. In this work, we demonstrate a unique design for a flexible lithium-ion conducting ceramic textile with the above features for use in solid-state batteries. The ceramic textile was based on the garnet-type conductor Li7La3Zr2O12 and exhibited a range of desirable chemical and structural properties, including: lithium-ion conducting cubic structure, low density, multi-scale porosity, high surface area/volume ratio, and good flexibility. The solid garnet textile enabled reinforcement of a solid polymer electrolyte to achieve high lithium-ion conductivity and stable long-term Li cycling over 500 h without failure. The textile also provided an electrolyte framework when designing a 3D electrode to realize ultrahigh cathode loading (10.8 g/cm2 sulfur) for high-performance Li-metal batteries.
