Understanding the Effect of Cathode Composition on the Interface and Crosstalk in NMC/Si Full Cells

Minkyu Kim et al.

Summary: The crosstalk between cathodes and anodes in lithium-ion batteries has a significant impact on performance and cycle lifetime. This study investigates the effect of crosstalk on the degradation of Si-rich anodes in cells with different cathodes of the same crystal structure but varying transition metal compositions. The results show that the transition metal composition, particularly the concentration of Mn ions, in the cathodes significantly affects the electrolyte decomposition reactions, leading to differences in the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) chemistry and electrochemistry of the aged Si samples.

Revealing the Role of Liquid Electrolytes in Cycling of Garnet-Based Solid-State Lithium-Metal Batteries

Shuo Yan et al.

Summary: Solid-state lithium-metal batteries with high resistance at the garnet electrolyte/cathode interface can be improved by introducing a carbonate-based liquid electrolyte. The role of the liquid electrolyte at the interface was thoroughly studied, revealing the formation and chemical composition of the solid-liquid electrolyte interphase and the cathode-electrolyte interphase. The liquid electrolyte was found to decompose during cycling, forming fluoride species, oxides, and carbonates as the main components of the in situ-formed solid-liquid electrolyte interphase. The synergy between the solid-liquid electrolyte interphase and the cathode-electrolyte interphase resulted in high-performance lithium garnet | liquid electrolyte | nickel manganese cobalt oxide cells.

Polymorphism of garnet solid electrolytes and its implications for grain-level chemo-mechanics

Marm B. Dixit et al.

Summary: Understanding and mitigating issues such as filament formation, short-circuiting, and solid electrolyte fracture is crucial for the development of advanced all-solid-state batteries. In this study, a combined far-field high-energy diffraction microscopy and tomography approach was used to analyze the chemo-mechanical behavior of dense, polycrystalline garnet solid electrolytes at the grain-level resolution. The results revealed that the failure mechanism is stochastic and influenced by local microstructural heterogeneity. The presence of phase heterogeneity, potentially caused by local dopant concentration variation, was observed to affect the local chemo-mechanics within the bulk solid electrolyte. These findings provide insights into the degradation process of polycrystalline garnet solid electrolytes and offer pathways for processing high-performing solid-state batteries.

Summary: The study reveals that, under normal operation conditions, there does not exist an intimate coating layer at the single-particle level in carbonate-based electrolyte, but upon brief external electrical shorting, a solid-electrolyte interphase might form on cathodes, which could be electrochemically converted into a stable, conformal CEI. This conformal CEI helps improve Coulombic efficiency and overall capacity retention of the battery, offering a different perspective compared to previous understanding in commercial carbonate-based electrolytes.
