Probing Mechanical Properties of Solid-Electrolyte Interphases on Li Nuclei by In Situ AFM

Wei-Wei Wang et al.

Summary: This study investigates the structures, thicknesses, and Young's moduli of three types of solid-electrolyte interphases (SEIs) in Li metal batteries using in-situ atomic force microscope (AFM) based nanoindentation and peak force quantitative nanomechanics (QNM) methods. The study finds that SEIs formed by electrochemical reduction have a traditional double layer structure and are thicker with smaller Young's moduli compared to the inorganic-organic hybrid SEIs formed with chemical reactions.

Stabilizing metal battery anodes through the design of solid electrolyte interphases

Qing Zhao et al.

Summary: The solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) is a chemically distinct material phase formed by a combination of electrochemical reduction and chemical reactions at both the explicit and implicit interfaces in all electrochemical cells. Understanding the structure, chemistry, and thermodynamics of the materials that accumulate in such interfacial material phases plays a crucial role in achieving high levels of anode reversibility in secondary batteries. Strategies focusing on the rational design of the SEI at metal anodes, including taking advantage of redox chemistry of electrolyte components and creating artificial SEI outside the cell, are highlighted in the study.
