Preparing Li-garnet electrodes with engineered structures by phase inversion and high shear compaction processes
Abstract
Abstract Solid‐state lithium batteries are promising for safety and energy density compared with traditional lithium‐ion batteries. However, the large interfacial resistance between the electrode and electrolyte is a bottleneck to achieving high‐performance solid‐state batteries. Engineered electrode structures with a porous scaffold of the solid electrolyte material are promising to lower the interfacial resistance and provide a mechanical support for a thin solid electrolyte layer. In this work, two ceramic processing techniques are used to fabricate porous/dense bilayer architectures based on a Li 6.25 Al 0.25 La 3 Zr 2 O 12 (LLZO) Li‐garnet material. Finger‐like vertically aligned pores are created by the phase inversion (PI) process. A water bath presaturated with Li salt prevents Li loss during the PI solvent exchange step. Pore size and porosity can be optimized by adjusting the bath temperature. The high shear compaction process was used to prepare LLZO tapes with 40, 60, and 80 vol% poreformer. The porosity of the tapes after sintering is 39.5%, 58.4%, and 75.4%, respectively. Microtomography exhibits the porosity, pore shape, and pore distribution of the tapes. A typical cathode material LiNi 0.33 Mn 0.33 Co 0.33 O 2 (NMC) is filled into the pores via vacuum infiltration, and a densemore »
