Imaging solid-electrolyte interphase dynamics using operando reflection interference microscopy

Guangxia Feng et al.

Summary: Reflection interference microscopy enables real-time imaging of the formation and evolution of the solid-electrolyte interphase in batteries, providing valuable insights into its structure and dynamics. The imaging reveals the stratified structure of the interphase, with an inner inorganic layer, an interfacial electrified double layer, and an outer organic-rich layer that is reversible with cycling. The thicknesses of the interphase subcomponents show an inverse correlation, indicating the influence of the inner layer on the formation of the outer layer and lithium nucleation.

Capturing the swelling of solid-electrolyte interphase in lithium metal batteries

Zewen Zhang et al.

Summary: Characterizing liquid-solid interfaces remains challenging due to the limitations of existing tools. This study adopts a thin film vitrification method to preserve and study the structure and chemistry of key interfaces in batteries. The research reveals substantial swelling of the solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI) on lithium metal anodes in different electrolytes, with the swelling behavior correlated to battery performance.

Anode-Free Full Cells: A Pathway to High-Energy Density Lithium-Metal Batteries

Sanjay Nanda et al.

Summary: The anode-free full cell configuration is ideal for high energy density and lithium storage, but poor efficiencies of lithium plating and stripping lead to short cycle life. Recent studies have shown that advanced electrolytes and other methods can stabilize lithium deposition and improve cycle life.

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.
