Capturing the swelling of solid-electrolyte interphase in lithium metal batteries

Zewen Zhang et al.

Summary: Characterizing liquid-solid interfaces remains challenging due to the limitations of existing tools. This study adopts a thin film vitrification method to preserve and study the structure and chemistry of key interfaces in batteries. The research reveals substantial swelling of the solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI) on lithium metal anodes in different electrolytes, with the swelling behavior correlated to battery performance.

Recent Progress in Understanding Solid Electrolyte Interphase on Lithium Metal Anodes

Haiping Wu et al.

Summary: The structure, properties, and influencing factors of SEI play a crucial role in the performance of lithium metal batteries. Efficient strategies for tailoring SEI involve understanding the composition, models, and properties of SEI, as well as the correlations between electrolyte components and SEI. Future directions include in-operando techniques, multi-modality approaches for SEI characterization, and artificial intelligence assisted understanding of SEI properties.

Optimizing Cycling Conditions for Anode-Free Lithium Metal Cells

A. J. Louli et al.

Summary: This study focuses on the performance of anode-free lithium metal cells under different cycling conditions, and finds that cycling with an asymmetric slower charge protocol is optimal. The research also examines the effect of depth of discharge and demonstrates the benefit of forming a lithium reservoir in situ. Additionally, a specialized intermittent high depth of discharge cycling protocol is developed for anode-free lithium metal cells.

Moving beyond 99.9% Coulombic efficiency for lithium anodes in liquid electrolytes

Gustavo M. Hobold et al.

Summary: This review examines the trends and key descriptors of Coulombic efficiency in Li-metal batteries over the past five decades, as well as strategies to improve CE. While advancements have been made in cost and energy density of Li-ion batteries, achieving high Coulombic efficiency consistently remains a challenge.

In situ observation of cracking and self-healing of solid electrolyte interphases during lithium deposition

Tingting Yang et al.

Summary: This study provides in situ observations of electrochemically induced Li deposition under a CO2 atmosphere, revealing the influence of cracking and self-healing of the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) on the morphology of individual Li deposits. The relative balance between cracking and self-healing can be tuned to control the morphology of Li deposits, thereby affecting the growth of Li whiskers and the strength of Li dendrites.

Corrosion of lithium metal anodes during calendar ageing and its microscopic origins

David T. Boyle et al.

Summary: Rechargeable lithium metal batteries must have a long cycle life and calendar life. The loss of capacity during calendar ageing is caused by chemical corrosion of Li and the continuous growth of the solid electrolyte interphase. Functional electrolytes must minimize the rate of solid electrolyte interphase growth and the surface area of electrodeposited Li metal to ensure long battery life.

Balancing interfacial reactions to achieve long cycle life in high-energy lithium metal batteries

Chaojiang Niu et al.

Summary: The study investigates the degradation mechanisms of Li || LiNi0.6Mn0.2Co0.2O2 pouch cells and shows that an optimal anode to cathode capacity ratio of 1:1 can balance well the rates of Li consumption, electrolyte depletion, and solid-electrolyte interphase construction to extend the cycle life of the cell. Contrary to conventional wisdom, long cycle life is observed with ultra-thin Li in balanced cells. A prototype 350 Wh kg(-1) pouch cell achieves over 600 stable cycles with 76% capacity retention.
