A high-energy-density and long-life initial-anode-free lithium battery enabled by a Li2O sacrificial agent

Yu Qiao et al.

Summary: Anode-free batteries are promising for high-energy applications, but face challenges with cycling stability due to limited lithium sources. In this study, researchers preloaded Li2O onto the cathode of an initial-anode-free cell to provide additional lithium for offsetting irreversible lithium loss during long-term cycling. By utilizing O-2(-) species released through Li2O oxidation and a fluorinated ether additive, a LiF-based layer was constructed at the cathode/electrolyte interface to passivate the cathode surface and inhibit the detrimental oxidative decomposition of ether solvents. As a result, a long-life 2.46 Ah initial-anode-free pouch cell with a gravimetric energy density of 320 Wh kg(-1) was achieved, maintaining 80% capacity after 300 cycles.

Investigating the electrochemical stability of Li7La3Zr2O12 solid electrolytes using field stress experiments

Stefan Smetaczek et al.

Summary: The study shows that LLZO decomposes at 4.1-4.3 V vs. Li+/Li, forming Li-poor phases like La2Zr2O7 beneath the positively polarized electrode. This reaction continues even after several days of polarization, indicating the absence of a blocking interfacial layer. The decomposition can be observed at elevated as well as room temperature, suggesting that LLZO is truly not compatible with high voltage cathode materials.
