Ionic conductivity in complex metal hydride-based nanocomposite materials: The impact of nanostructuring and nanocomposite formation

Laura M. de Kort et al.

Summary: Complex metal hydrides have gained attention as solid electrolytes for all-solid-state batteries due to their desirable properties. This review highlights two strategies, nanostructuring and nanocomposite formation, to enhance the room temperature conductivity of complex metal hydrides. The achievements in nanostructured complex metal hydride-based ion conductors and complex metal hydride/metal oxide nanocomposite ion conductors are summarized, and the trends and challenges in their preparation are discussed. Furthermore, the reported all-solid-state batteries based on complex metal hydride nanocomposite electrolytes are highlighted. Future research directions and perspectives for improving metal hydride ion conductors and metal hydride-based all-solid-state batteries are proposed.

Study on the suppression of lithium dendrites based on solid electrolyte Li7La3Zr2O12 with annealing treatment of Al interlayer

Yanhua Zhang et al.

Summary: The growth of lithium dendrites in LLZO solid electrolytes has been a major obstacle to the development of all-solid-state lithium batteries. In this study, two different interlayers, one electronically conductive (Al) and one electronically non-conductive (Al2O3), were constructed at the Li/LLZO interface to explore the mechanism behind lithium dendrite growth. The results showed that the battery with an annealed Al2O3 interlayer exhibited good cycle stability, with no internal short circuit observed after 1000 cycles, while the battery with an Al interlayer experienced internal short circuit after only 95 cycles. It was found that the reaction between the Al2O3 interlayer and Li+ during the charge and discharge process formed a Li-Al-O compound, which acted as a Li+ conductive layer to promote lithium deposition and prevent dendritic growth. In contrast, the presence of the Al interlayer allowed electron transport to LLZO, leading to lithium dendritic growth.

Effect of Nb5+ doping on the microstructure and conductivity of Li1.125Ta0.875Zr0.125SiO5 electrolyte

Yanzhi Zhang et al.

Summary: The microstructure and electrochemical properties of Li1.125Ta0.875-xNbxZr0.125SiO5 ceramics prepared via the solid-phase reaction method were investigated. The conductivity of the ceramics increased and then decreased as the Nb doping concentration increased. Nb doping at 0.1875 mol facilitated the fusion and connection between grains, reducing the number of grain boundaries and increasing the conductivity. The structural distortion caused by the discrepancy in ionic radii of Ta5+ and Nb5+ allowed for more accommodation of Li ions and promoted Li+ diffusion, reducing the energy potential barrier for ion transport. The Li1.125Ta0.6875Nb0.1875Zr0.125SiO5 ceramic exhibited the highest conductivity, making it a potential candidate for all-solid-state batteries.
