Interfacial materials design plays a critical role in the development of solid-state lithium batteries. This study investigates the formation of a highly resistive layer between a layered cathode and a garnet-type solid-state electrolyte, and finds that the migration of lithium and the decomposition of the garnet phase are responsible for the formation of the highly resistive layer.
Interfacial materials design is critical in the development of all-solid-state lithium batteries. We must develop an electrode-electrolyte interface with low resistance and effectively utilize the energy stored in the battery system. Here, we investigated the highly resistive layer formation process at the interface of a layered cathode: LiCoO2, and a garnet-type solid-state electrolyte: Li6.4La3Zr1.4Ta0.6O12, during the cosintering process using in situ/ex situ high-temperature X-ray diffraction. The onset temperature of the reaction between a lithium-deficient LixCoO2 and Li6.4La3Zr1.4Ta0.6O12 is 60 degrees C, while a stoichiometric LiCoO2 does not show any reaction up to 900 degrees C. The chemical potential gap of lithium first triggers the lithium migration from the garnet phase to the LixCoO2 below 200 degrees C. The lithium-extracted garnet gradually decomposes around 200 degrees C and mostly disappears at 500 degrees C. Since the interdiffusion of the transition metal is not observed below 500 degrees C, the early-stage reaction product is the decomposed lithium-deficient garnet phase. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy results showed that the highly resistive layer is formed even below 200 degrees C. The present work offers that the origin of the highly resistive layer formation is triggered by lithium migration at the solid-solid interface and decomposition of the lithium-deficient garnet phase. We must prevent spontaneous lithium migration at the cathode-electrolyte interface to avoid a highly resistive layer formation. Our results show that the lithium chemical potential gap should be the critical parameter for designing an ideal solid-solid interface for all-solid-state battery applications.
