Boosting fast interfacial Li+ transport in solid-state Li metal batteries via ultrathin Al buffer layer

Shengnan Zhang et al.

Summary: Superionic conductor LAGP has been widely studied for its high ionic conductivity and stability. However, its application is limited by lithium dendrites and interface instability. By depositing an ultrathin Al film on the surface of LAGP through magnetron sputtering, an Al-LAGP material is formed. In-situ alloying reaction creates a LiAl buffer layer, inhibiting undesired reactions and promoting uniform distribution of the electric field at the interface. Density functional theory calculations show that the LiAl alloy surface facilitates lithium atom diffusion and inhibits dendrite formation. Experimental results demonstrate that Li/Al-LAGP-Al/Li symmetric cells exhibit low resistance and long lifespan, and assembled all solid state lithium metal batteries show improved cycle stability and rate performance.
