An Investigation of Chemo-Mechanical Phenomena and Li Metal Penetration in All-Solid-State Lithium Metal Batteries Using In Situ Optical Curvature Measurements

Jung Hwi Cho et al.

Summary: Solid-electrolytes (SEs) provide a way to increase energy density in lithium metal batteries, but the penetration of lithium metal through garnet based LLZO solid electrolytes is identified as a critical failure process, related to difficult-to-probe chemo-mechanical processes. This study introduces in situ curvature measurements to investigate the chemo-mechanical phenomena during lithium plating. The results show that there is pressure build-up in the Li metal during plating until short circuits occur, highlighting the importance of minimizing surface defects and flaws in the manufacturing processes.

Linking void and interphase evolution to electrochemistry in solid-state batteries using operando X-ray tomography

John A. Lewis et al.

Summary: The study using operando synchrotron X-ray computed microtomography reveals the evolution of lithium/solid-state electrolyte interfaces during battery cycling, showing how void formation, interphase growth, and volumetric changes affect cell behavior. Loss of contact at the interface between lithium and the solid-state electrolyte is found to be the primary cause of cell failure, while redox-active interphase and global volume changes upon charge also play significant roles in determining cell performance. These findings provide insights into the impact of chemo-mechanical phenomena on cell behavior, aiding in the development of solid-state batteries.

Operando video microscopy of Li plating and re-intercalation on graphite anodes during fast charging

Yuxin Chen et al.

Summary: This study used plan-view operando video microscopy to investigate lithium plating on graphite anodes in high-energy-density batteries. The results show that lithium plating mainly occurs on graphite particles and is correlated with local minimum of graphite electrode potential. Galvanic corrosion currents are responsible for lithium re-intercalation and dead lithium formation.

Microstructure and Pressure-Driven Electrodeposition Stability in Solid-State Batteries

Ankit Verma et al.

Summary: The stability of interfacial deposition at the Li-metal-solid electrolyte interface in all solid-state batteries is influenced by the stress-transport-electrochemistry coupling and the polycrystalline/amorphous solid electrolyte architecture. The study identifies the optimal solid electrolyte microstructure with desirable ionic conductivity and elastic modulus for superior transport and strength. Experimental results show that external stack pressure has a negligible impact on reaction kinetics, with electrolyte transport overpotentials playing a key role in electrodeposition stability.
