Regenerative Solid Interfaces Enhance High-Performance All- Solid-State Lithium Batteries

Journal Article · · ACS Nano
All-solid-state Lithium batteries (ASSLBs) have gained widespread attention in recent years. However, their performance is still largely limited by the poor transport properties and stability of the solid-solid interfaces (SSIs). In this study, we report a new strategy for creating a reversible interface with good conductivity and self-adaptive mechanical properties for high-performance all-solid-state lithium batteries (ASSLBs). The interface is formed in situ from nanosized lithium iodide (LiI), a component of the solid-state electrolyte (SSE), which flows plastically along the SSE interfaces under high pressure due to its high ductility. Moreover, LiI segregates and enriches along the Li/SSE interfaces, reversibly enhancing Li plating/stripping due to its lithophilicity and high ionic conductivity. This dynamic LiI interface enables stable operation of metallic Li anode (>1000 h) at high current densities and elevated temperatures, and long-term cycling of all-solid-state Li-sulfur batteries (>250 cycles) with high sulfur utilization rate (>1400 mAh g-1) and areal capacity (>2 mAh cm-2). This study reveals a unique role of LiI in building robust SSIs and provides new insights into the design of novel SSEs and interfaces for high-performance ASSLBs.
