Delocalized Lithium Ion Flux by Solid-State Electrolyte Composites Coupled with 3D Porous Nanostructures for Highly Stable Lithium Metal Batteries
ACS nano(2023)
摘要
This work investigates the root cause of failure withthe ultimateanode, Li metal, when employing conventional/composite separatorsand/or porous anodes. Then a feasible route of utilizing Li metalis presented. Our operando and microscopy studies have unveiled thatLi(+) flux passing through the conventional separator isnot uniform, resulting in preferential Li plating/stripping. Porousanodes alone are subject to clogging with moderate- or high-loadingcathodes. Here we discovered it is necessary to seek synergy fromour separator and anode pair to deliver delocalized Li+ to the anode and then uniformly plate Li metal over the large surfaceareas of the porous anode. Our polymer composite separator containinga solid-state electrolyte (SE) can provide numerous Li+ passages through the percolated SE and pore networks. Our finiteelement analysis and comparative tests disclosed the synergy betweenthe homogeneous Li+ flux and current density reductionon the anode. Our composite separators have induced compact and uniformLi plating with robust inorganic-rich solid electrolyte interphaselayers. The porous anode decreased the nucleation overpotential andinterfacial contact impedance during Li plating. Full cell tests withLiFePO(4) and Li[Ni0.8Mn0.1Co0.1]O-2 (NMC811) exhibited remarkable cycling behaviors: & SIM;80%capacity retention at the 750th and 235th cycle, respectively. A high-loadingNMC811 (4 mAh cm(-2)) full cell displayed maximumcell-level energy densities of 334 Wh kg(-1) and 783Wh L-1. This work proposes a solution for raisingenergy density by adopting Li metal, which could be a viable optionconsidering only incremental advancement in conventional cathodeslately.
