By designing LiF nanoparticles confined in an aligned polymer matrix as an artificial SEI layer, the lithium-ion flux can be effectively regulated and high stability can be achieved for lithium metal anodes. Furthermore, a full battery equipped with this protective film exhibits good performance in commercial carbonate electrolyte, indicating the great potential of this technology in lithium metal batteries.
The uncontrollable growth of lithium (Li) dendrites and the instability of the Li/electrolyte interface hinder the development of next-generation rechargeable lithium metal batteries. The combination of inorganic nanoparticles and polymers as the artificial SEI layer shows great potential in regulating lithium-ion flux. Here, we design spatially confined LiF nanoparticles in an aligned polymer matrix as the artificial SEI layer. A high dielectric polymer matrix homogenizes the electric field near the surface of lithium metal. Aligned pores with LiF nanoparticles promote the lithium-ion transport across the artificial SEI layer. The synergistic effect of the highly polar beta-phase PVDF and LiF nanoparticles provides high stability over 900 h for the Li//Li symmetrical cell. Besides, a Li//LFP full battery equipped with this artificial layer shows good performance in the commercial carbonate electrolyte, demonstrating the great potential of this protective film in lithium metal batteries.
