Understanding the chemo-mechanical behaviors of electrodes, particularly at the electrode/electrolyte interfaces, is critical for improving the performance of all-solid-state batteries. However, due to the instability of electrolyte materials under ambient conditions, such characterizations are challenging, particularly for sulfide-based all-solid-state batteries. Herein, by combining time-of-flight secondary-ion mass spectroscopy (ToF-SIMS) and in-SEM nanoindentation measurements, a systematic quantitative investigation of the chemo-mechanical behaviors of pyrene-4,5,9,10-tetraone (PTO) /Li₆PS₅Cl composite cathodes is carried out. Chemical and quantitative mechanical information of the composite cathode were collected with high spatial resolution after developing and implementing an air-free characterization protocol. By directly connecting the Young’s modulus and hardness with the Li distribution in the composite cathode, a comprehensive chemo-mechanical mapping of the PTO/ Li₆PS₅Cl composite cathode has been established. Furthermore, this work improves our knowledge of the critical chemo-mechanical phenomena that occur at the cathode/electrolyte interfaces in all-solid-state batteries.
