Inactive Overhang in Silicon Anodes

Li-ion batteries contain excess anode area to improve manufacturability and prevent Li plating. These overhang areas in graphite electrodes are active but experience decreased Li + flux during cycling. Over time, the overhang and the anode portions directly opposite to the cathode can exchange Li + , driven by differences in local electrical potential across the electrode, which artificially inflates or decreases the measured cell capacity. Here, we show that lithiation of the overhang is less likely to happen in silicon anodes paired with layered oxide cathodes. The large voltage hysteresis of silicon creates a lower driving force for Li + exchange as lithium ions transit into the overhang, rendering this exchange highly inefficient. For crystalline Si particles, Li + storage at the overhang is prohibitive, because the low potential required for the initial lithiation can act as thermodynamic barrier for this exchange. We use micro-Raman spectroscopy to demonstrate that crystalline Si particles at the overhang are never lithiated even after cell storage at 45 °C for four months. Because the anode overhang can affect the forecasting of cell life, cells using silicon anodes may require different methodologies for life estimation compared to those used for traditional graphite-based Li-ion batteries.

Deconvoluting Effects of Lithium Morphology and SEI Stability at Moderate Current Density Using Interface Engineering

Lithium (Li)-morphology and solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) are among the most significant performance regulators in Li-metal batteries (LMBs). While both Li-morphology and SEI composition play key roles in the cyclability of LMBs, less is understood about the individual contributions of each factor to overall Li reversibility, particularly at a practical current density (1 mA cm −2 ) at which the kinetics of both factors are not naturally separated. Herein, an interface engineering approach is introduced to deconvolute the impacts of Li-morphology and SEI composition on battery performance. By using interfacial nanofilms with differing resistivity (resistive HfO 2 versus conductive ZnO), the morphology of Li is varied, and by virtue of similar acidic character of the nanofilms, the formation of anion-rich SEIs is maintained. It is established that although the surface acidity of the thin films enables preformation of a more anion-rich SEI, it is not preserved after Li plating. It is further shown that resistance-controlled, low-surface-area Li-morphology exhibits up to threefold increase in stable cycle life when tested in multiple electrolytes. Overall, these findings explain why Li-morphological control is more advantageous for performance improvement than preformed SEI modulation due to the inherent challenges in SEI preservation.

In Situ Characterization of Interface Evolution in Argyrodite‐Based All‐Solid‐State Li Batteries

Interfacial stability is one of the critical challenges in all-solid-state Li metal batteries. Multiple processes such as solid electrolyte (SE) decomposition and lithium dendrite growth take place at the solid interfaces during cycling, leading to the overall cell failure. To deconvolute these complex processes, in situ characterization is of paramount importance to elucidate the interfacial evolution on the SE upon Li plating/stripping. Herein, an all-solid-state asymmetric in situ cell is developed that allows the direct visualization of the highly localized Li plating/stripping processes under the optical microscope. Moreover, this cell configuration enables reliable post-mortem chemical and morphological analysis of the intact SE/Li interface. Using combined scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, the study reveals that the evolution of the Li argyrodite interface is strongly influenced by the current density, particularly in terms of chemical distribution and Li plating morphology. More specifically, the solid interface is LiCl-rich with the formation of Li cubes at low current densities, while high currents result in more uniform elemental distribution and filament morphology. These findings elucidate the dynamic evolution mechanism at solid interfaces and offer valuable guidance for developing stable solid interfaces in all-solid-state Li metal batteries.

In-situ electrochemical optical techniques in the investigation of lithium interfacial phenomena with a liquid and a solid-state electrolyte

An in-situ electrochemical optical diagnosis is the key to the investigation of electrode interface during a redox reaction. Because the morphology changes particularly, dendrite formation, dendrite shapes, solid electrolyte interface formation and gas generation can be revealed visually. The challenge of ensuring uniform current density on a flat Li anode in a liquid electrolyte was addressed and uniform Li plating was demonstrated. The dendrite shape change under different reduction current density was discussed. Here the Li dendrite shape change and the performance of Li anodes with a surface lamination of graphite and red phosphate were used as examples to demonstrate the capability of the in-situ optical cell. An in-situ electrochemical optical cell used in the investigation of the increasingly popular solid-state Li batteries has its own challenges. Due to the untransparent nature of a solid-state electrolyte, an optical investigation on a solid-state electrolyte Li battery needs to be done by exposing the cross-section of the cell. In addition, it is very difficult to assemble an optical cell with a brittle and fragile solid-state electrolyte in a glove box. A set of formation and transfer dies, and an optical cell were introduced. The Li dendrite growth at the interface can be observed in a solid-state Li cell.

Interface Design for High‐Performance All‐Solid‐State Lithium Batteries

All‐solid‐state batteries suffer from high interface resistance and lithium dendrite growth leading to low Li plating/stripping Coulombic efficiency (CE) of <90% and low critical current density at high capacity. Here, in this work, both challenges are simultaneously addressed and the Li plating/stripping CE is significantly increased to 99.6% at 0.2 mA cm −2 /0.2 mAh cm −2 , and critical current density (CCD) of > 3.0 mA cm −2 /3.0 mAh cm −2 by inserting a mixed ionic‐electronic conductive (MIEC) and lithiophobic LiF‐C‐Li 3 N‐Bi nanocomposite interlayer between Li 6 PS 5 Cl electrolyte and Li anode. The highly lithiophobic LiF‐C‐Li 3 N‐Bi interlayer with high ionic conductivity (10 −5 S cm −1 ) and low electronic conductivity (3.4×10 −7 S cm −1 ) enables Li to plate on the current collector (CC) surface rather than on Li 6 PS 5 Cl surface avoiding Li 6 PS 5 Cl electrolyte reduction. During initial Li plating on CC, Li penetrates into porous LiF‐C‐Li 3 N‐Bi interlayer and lithiates Bi nanoparticles into Li 3 Bi. The lithiophilic Li 3 Bi and Li 3 N nanoparticles in LiF‐C‐Li 3 N‐Li 3 Bi sub‐interlayer will move to CC along with plated Li, forming LiF‐C/Li 3 N‐Li 3 Bi lithiophobic/lithiophilic sublayer during the following Li stripping. This interlayer enables Co 0.1 Fe 0.9 S 2 /Li 6 PS 5 Cl/Li cell with an areal capacity of 1.4 mAh cm −2 to achieve a cycle life of >850 cycles at 150 mA g −1 . The lithiophobic/lithiophilic interlayer enables solid‐state metal batteries to simultaneously achieve high energy and long cycle life.

Simply Fabricatable Reference Electrode for Studying Li Metal Interfaces Operando

Reference electrodes are essential for studying Li metal interfaces, yet their integration into coin cells remains challenging due to geometric constraints and assembly complexity. Here, we present a simple three-electrode coin cell design in which a thin Cu film is evaporated directly onto a trilayer PP/PE/PP separator, forming a conductive and flexible in situ current collector. The microporous Cu preserves separator porosity and pressure uniformity, avoiding artifacts introduced by wire- or mesh-type references. It is easily activated by Li plating and provides stable potentials for over 10 days in ether-based electrolytes without affecting Coulombic efficiency (>99%) or Li deposition morphology. Operando measurements using this design reveal electrode-specific impedance evolution and voltage responses otherwise obscured in two-electrode setups, uncovering a correlation between the SEI resistance and electrolyte ionic conductivity. This microporous Cu reference electrode offers a robust and accessible platform for characterizing reactive interfaces under realistic cycling conditions.

Energizing Robust Sulfur/Lithium Electrochemistry via Nanoscale-Asymmetric-Size Synergism

Sluggish redox kinetics and dendrite growth perplex the fulfillment of efficient electrochemistry in lithium–sulfur (Li–S) batteries. The complicated sulfur phase transformation and sulfur/lithium diversity kinetics necessitate an all-inclusive approach in catalyst design. Herein, a compatible mediator with nanoscale-asymmetric-size configuration by integrating Co single atoms and defective CoTe 2–x (Co SA -CoTe 2–x @NHCF) is elaborately developed for regulating sulfur/lithium electrochemistry synchronously. Substantial electrochemistry and theoretical analyses reveal that CoTe 2–x exhibits higher catalytic activity in long-chain polysulfide transformation and Li 2 S decomposition, while monodispersed Co sites are more effective in boosting sulfur reduction kinetics to regulate Li 2 S deposition. Such cascade catalysis endows Co SA -CoTe 2–x @NHCF with the all-around service of “trapping-conversion-recuperation” for sulfur species during the whole redox reaction. Furthermore, it is demonstrated by in situ transmission electron microscopy that initially formed electronic-conductive Co and ionic-conductive Li 2 Te provide sufficient lithiophilic sites to regulate homogeneous Li plating and stripping with markedly suppressed dendrite growth. Consequently, by coupling the Co SA -CoTe 2–x @NHCF interlayer and Li@Co SA -CoTe 2–x @NHCF anode, the constructed Li–S full batteries deliver superior cycling stability and rate performance, and the flexible pouch cell exhibits stable cycling performance at 0.3 C. In conclusion, the gained insights into the synergistic effect of asymmetric-size structures pave the way for the integrated catalyst design in advanced Li–S systems.

Enabling fast-charging of lithium-ion batteries through printed electrodes

It has been well recognized that introducing secondary porous networks (SPNs) into the electrodes can effectively improve the electrochemical performance of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), especially under fast-charging operations. However, the process complexity and high cost limit the commercial success of advanced electrodes with SPNs. To address this issue, we developed a facile screen-printing process to produce structured graphite electrodes with SPNs. The experimental results demonstrated that, by tuning the diameter and center-to-center (C2C) distance of emulsion dots on the stencil screen, the pore diameters and C2C pore distances of SPNs in screenprinted electrodes can be precisely controlled in the range of 100 mu m to 1 mm and 100 mu m to 3 mm respectively. In addition, the SPNs with hexagonal and square-shape pore alignments have also been imprinted onto the electrode coatings through adjusting the patterns of screen stencils. Used as anodes, the printed graphite electrodes demonstrated significantly reduced overpotential and voltage fluctuation under fast-charging operations from 2C to 6C. Coupled with LiNi 0.6 Mn 0.2 Co 0.2 O 2 (NMC622) cathodes, the full cells with printed graphite anodes exhibited an unprecedently stable performance with almost no capacity decay up to 170 cycles when charged to 80 % SOC at 2C. Observations from electron microscopy showed plated lithium undetectable at the surface of printed graphite electrodes after numerous cycles. The electrochemical analysis on the voltage evolution during the cell rest period indicated the significantly delayed onset of lithium plating in the presence of printed graphite electrodes. In conclusion, all these results suggest that the significantly improved cell performance is associated with the shortened Li-ion diffusion distance, reduced polarization and suppressed Li plating in the printed electrodes with patterned SPNs.

A novel polymeric lithicone coating for superior lithium metal anodes

Lithium metal (Li) is commonly regarded as the “holy grail” of rechargeable batteries and can serve as anodes for constituting various high-energy lithium metal batteries (LMBs). However, it suffers from two notorious issues: (1) continuous formation of inhomogeneous solid electrolyte interphase and (2) Li dendritic growth. Here, in this study, we developed a novel polymeric lithicone via a new molecular layer deposition (MLD) process, using lithium tert-butoxide (LTB) and hydroquinone (HQ) as precursors. We revealed that such an MLD process enabled the resultant LiHQ to grow linearly in a highly controllable and cyclic mode at a growth rate of 4 Å cycle −1 . Furthermore, its low process deposition temperature of 150 °C made it possible to practice high-quality coatings over Li anodes directly. We demonstrated that, very compellingly, this LiHQ coating could protect Li anodes from corrosion and dendritic growth. As a consequence, this LiHQ coating has enabled Li||Li symmetric cells an extremely long cyclability up to 8000 Li-plating/stripping cycles without failure. More excitingly, we demonstrated that, coupled with LiNi 0.8 Mn 0.1 Co 0.1 O 2 (NMC811) cathodes, the LiHQ-modified Li anodes could help the resultant Li||NMC811 realize a much better capacity retention and much longer cyclability. Thus, this study represents a strategic route for developing commercializeable LMBs.

Lithium Dendrite-Free Li 7 N 2 I-LiOH Solid Electrolytes for High Energy Lithium Batteries

All-solid-state lithium batteries (ASSLBs) hold great potential to improve the safety and energy density of today’s lithium-ion batteries by using non-flammable inorganic solid electrolytes. Solid electrolytes (SEs) are believed to prevent Li dendrite growth because of high mechanical strength and high Li+ transference numbers. Significant advances in SE have been achieved, among which, Li7La3Zr2O12 (LLZO) and Li2S–P2S5 (LPS) are the most promising SEs for bulk-type solid-state lithium batteries because of high ionic conductivities (>10-4 S/cm2). However, in contrast to our expectations, the growth of lithium dendrites is not suppressed but is facilitated in LLZOs and LPSs regardless of dopants, porosity, and crystallinity of the electrolytes. Despite the unity Li transference number and over two-times of shear modulus than that of Li metal, the critical current densities for Li plating and stripping in these SEs are less than 1.0 mA cm-2, which is one-fourth to one-tenth of that in liquid electrolytes at room temperature. The incompatibility between LLZO and LPS with Li metal seriously limits the energy density of all-solid-state batteries. The mechanism for lithium dendrite formation and growth in SEs are still disputable. Lack of understanding of the Li dendrite formation mechanism seriously impeded the development of solid-state lithium batteries. The development of the criterion for Li dendrite suppression is essential for the success of solid electrolyte lithium batteries. In this project, a criterion for Li dendrite suppression will be developed through thermodynamics and kinetics analysis of lithium dendrite nucleation/growth, which will guide the solid-state electrolyte design. Li7N2I-LiOH, Li5NI2-LiOH and Li3YCl6 solid electrolyte with high ionic conductivity and low electronic conductivity were used to validate the criterion for lithium dendrite suppression. Different surface modifications were also explored to enhance the dendrite suppression capability of SSEs.

Impact of Salt Chemistry and Interlayer Architecture on Solid Electrolyte Interphase Composition and Performance

Reversible lithium metal anodes require interphases that are chemically stable, mechanically robust, and compatible with scalable processing. Here, we use slot-die-coated, salt-rich PEO interlayers to design SEI nanolayers on Cu current collectors and isolate how salt anion chemistry controls interphase composition and lithium plating/stripping behavior in architectures relevant to Li plating and anode-free cells. Mesoscale modeling shows that dendrite initiation at SEI defects is governed by a tradeoff among interphase thickness, ionic conductivity, and stiffness through defect-driven current focusing, motivating controlled formation from thin precursor layers. Using UHV-transferred XPS and ToF-SIMS depth profiling after controlled Li deposition, we find that fluorinated sulfonylimide salts (LiTFSI, LiFSI) form mixed inorganic/organic interphases containing LiF and PEO-derived alkoxides, with LiFSI producing a more LiF-dominant Li-facing surface than LiTFSI under identical conditions. In contrast, LiNO 3 -containing interlayers yield a comparatively thick nitrate-derived interphase that reduces upon Li contact to an N-rich inorganic layer (Li–N/N 3− , LiN x O y ). In Cu| |Li cells, these designed interlayers reduce interfacial resistance and improve Coulombic efficiency (CE) and critical current density (CCD) relative to uncoated controls, with LiFSI- and LiNO 3 -based interlayers providing the highest CE/CCD. Overall, the results demonstrate a manufacturing-relevant approach to engineer SEI nanolayers by salt chemistry, providing pathways to improve reversible lithium metal anodes while reducing reliance on LiTFSI.

Effects of Annealing Process on the Formability of Friction Stir Welded Al-Li Alloy 2195 Plates

Large rocket cryogenic tank domes have typically been fabricated using Al-Cu based alloys like Al-Cu alloy 2219. The use of aluminum-lithium based alloys for rocket fuel tank domes can reduce weight because aluminum-lithium alloys have lower density and higher strength than Al-Cu alloy 2219. However, Al-Li alloys have rarely been used to fabricate rocket fuel tank domes because of the inherent low formability characteristic that make them susceptible to cracking during the forming operations. The ability to form metal by stretch forming or spin forming without excessive thinning or necking depends on the strain hardening exponent "n". The stain hardening exponent is a measure of how rapidly a metal becomes stronger and harder. A high strain hardening exponent is beneficial to a material's ability to uniformly distribute the imposed strain. Marshall Space Flight Center has developed a novel annealing process that can achieve a work hardening exponent on the order of 0.27 to 0.29, which is approximately 50% higher than what is typically obtained for Al-Li alloys using the conventional method. The strain hardening exponent of the Al-Li alloy plates or blanks heat treated using the conventional method is typically on the order of 0.17 to 0.19. The effects of this novel annealing process on the formability of friction stir welded Al-Li alloy blanks are being studied at Marshall Space Flight Center. The formability ratings will be generated using the strain hardening exponent, strain rate sensitivity and forming range. The effects of forming temperature on the formability will also be studied. The objective of this work is to study the deformation behavior of the friction stir welded Al-Li alloy 2195 blank and determine the formability enhancement by the new annealing process.

In Situ Li Seed Formation Enables Uniform Plating in Anode-Free Solid-State Batteries

Anode-free solid-state batteries (AFSSBs) are a promising route toward achieving high energy density. In these cells, the anode contains no pre-stored lithium (Li). Instead, all Li inventory originates from the cathode and is freshly deposited onto a bare current collector during charging. However, achieving uniform and defect-free Li plating on this bare current collector remains a major challenging, often resulting in low Li plating/stripping efficiency and rapid capacity decay. Here, for the first time, operando neutron imaging is employed to visualize Li plating/stripping behavior in an anode-free full cell with LiNi 0.82 Mn 0.07 Co 0.11 O 2 (NMC) as the cathode. Operando measurements reveal that complete stripping of Li leaves isolated Li residues on the current collector, which degrades interfacial contact between the current collector and solid-state electrolyte. To mitigate this interfacial issue and promote more uniform Li deposition, we implement a discharge cutoff voltage strategy that intentionally retains a thin residual Li layer after stripping. This thin Li layer, serving as an in situ–formed seed layer, not only enables more homogeneous subsequent Li plating but also improves interfacial contact. As a result, the anode-free cell with a controlled discharge voltage of 3.5 V exhibits excellent long-term cycling stability, maintaining a discharge capacity of 116 mAh g -1 with a retention rate of 83.4% and an average Coulombic efficiency of approximately 99.9% after 430 cycles at 0.25 C. In contrast, the cell with a conventional discharge cutoff voltage of 2.8 V exhibits rapid capacity decay, retaining only 59.7 mAh g -1 after 50 cycles with a capacity retention of 40.7%. This work offers a practical strategy to unlock the long-term viability of anode-free solid-state batteries.

Thermal Dynamics and Lithium Plating Detection in High‐Power Li‐Ion Batteries for eVTOL Applications

The rapid electrification of aerial transportation is driving the need for high‐performance Li‐ion batteries that can operate reliably under stringent thermal and safety constraints. The unique mission profile of electric Vertical Take‐off and Landing (eVTOL) aircraft necessitates a focused investigation into the thermal behavior and safety characteristics of these batteries. Here, in this study, operando isothermal microcalorimetry is employed to examine the thermal evolution of Li‐ion batteries under cycling conditions representative of eVTOL operations. These findings reveal that high‐power discharge events—such as those during take‐off and landing—shift the thermal response toward exothermic behavior, in contrast to the typically endothermic response expected under near‐equilibrium cycling conditions. Additionally, the results suggest that advanced electrolyte formulations may help suppress excess heat generation, thereby improving battery safety. Notably, the calorimetric results exhibit a distinct thermal signature associated with lithium plating, offering a potential diagnostic for detecting Li plating during eVTOL operation. Overall, this study demonstrates the utility of isothermal microcalorimetry as a valuable tool for assessing thermal risks in Li‐ion batteries for eVTOL applications, and highlights the importance of targeted design strategies to mitigate safety hazards during high‐power demand scenarios.

Distinct Dynamics of Lithium Intercalation and Plating on Graphite Anode for Li‐Ion Batteries in eVTOL Applications

In the absence of viable high-energy-density battery alternatives, lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries remain essential for enabling electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) platforms in advanced air mobility. Unlike Li-ion batteries used in electric vehicles and portable electronics, eVTOL battery systems operate under distinct high-power demands, which necessitate an independent assessment of material degradation mechanisms. This study presents a case analysis of graphite anode evolution under high-power cycling conditions. The findings reveal lithium entrapment within graphite particles, potentially resulting from incomplete Li-ion de-intercalation during a high-rate discharge event that is characteristic of eVTOL take-off and landing. This phenomenon leads to a progressive reduction in graphite-specific capacity and, over time, promotes lithium metal plating on the anode. Notably, the Li-metal plating observed in this study differs from that associated with fast-charging conditions, as it is primarily governed by concentration polarization-induced overpotential in the latter case. In conclusion, these findings highlight the inherent challenges of utilizing graphite in high-power Li-ion battery applications and elucidate the unique degradation mechanisms that arise due to the sluggish reaction kinetics of Li-ion intercalation and de-intercalation within graphite.

Understanding ion-selective Li/Na metal plating behavior in hybrid Li-Na battery

This study investigates ion-selective Li/Na metal plating behavior in hybrid Li-Na battery systems, revealing the critical role of electrolyte solvents in these processes. Using a hybrid battery design with a LiFePO 4 cathode, Na metal anode, and NaPF 6 -based electrolytes, we observed contrasting effects of carbonate- and ether-based electrolyte solvents. While ether-based electrolytes showed expected Na plating/stripping, carbonate-based electrolytes surprisingly favored a Li-dominant plating/stripping reaction despite the Na-rich environment. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy revealed that this selectivity is linked to the composition of the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) layer, with carbonate electrolytes forming Li-based inorganic-rich SEI layers that facilitate Li-ion diffusion while screening Na ions. In conclusion, these findings challenge the conventional understanding of metal plating in multi-ion environments and offer insights for designing future hybrid battery systems.

Development of Aluminum-Lithium 2195 Gores by the Stretch Forming Process

Aluminum-Lithium alloy 2195 exhibits higher mechanical properties and lower density than aluminum alloy 2219, which is the current baseline material for Space Launch System (SLS) cryogenic tank components. Replacement of Al 2219 with Al-Li 2195 would result in substantial weight savings, as was the case when this replacement was made on the shuttle external tank. A key component of cryogenic tanks are the gores, which are welded together to make the rounded ends of the tanks. The required thicknesses of these gores depend on the specific SLS configuration and may exceed the current experience base in the manufacture of such gores by the stretch forming process. Here we describe the steps taken to enhance the formability of Al-Li 2195 by optimizing the heat treatment and stretch forming processes for gore thicknesses up to 0.75", which envelopes the maximum expected gore thicknesses for SLS tanks. An annealing treatment, developed at Marshall Space Flight Center, increased the forming range and strain hardening exponent of Al-Li 2195 plates. Using this annealing treatment, one 0.525" thick and two 0.75" thick gores were manufactured by the stretch forming process. The annealing treatment enabled the stretch forming of the largest ever cross sectional area (thickness x width) of an Al-Li 2195 plate achieved by the manufacturer. Mechanical testing of the gores showed greater than expected ultimate tensile strength, yield strength, modulus, and elongation values. The gores also exhibited acceptable fracture toughness at room and LN2 temperatures. All of the measured data indicate that the stretch formed gores have sufficient material properties to be used in flight domes.
