Title: Li 2 S 6 ‐Integrated PEO‐Based Polymer Electrolytes for All‐Solid‐State Lithium‐Metal Batteries

Abstract

Abstract The integration of Li 2 S 6 within a poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO)‐based polymer electrolyte is demonstrated to improve the polymer electrolyte's ionic conductivity because the strong interplay between O 2− (PEO) and Li + from Li 2 S 6 reduces the crystalline volume within the PEO. The Li/electrolyte interface is stabilized by the in situ formation of an ultra‐thin Li 2 S/Li 2 S 2 layer via the reaction between Li 2 S 6 and lithium metal, which increases the ionic transport at the interface and suppresses lithium dendrite growth. A symmetric Li/Li cell with the Li 2 S 6 ‐integrated composite electrolyte has excellent cyclability and a high critical current density of 0.9 mA cm −2 at 40 °C. Impressive electrochemical performance is demonstrated with all‐solid‐state Li/LiFePO 4 and high‐voltage Li/LiNi 0.8 Mn 0.1 Co 0.1 O 2 cells at 40 °C.
