Electrolyte-driven interphase stabilization in high-voltage sodium-ion full cells

Sodium-ion batteries with a high-voltage O3-type layered oxide cathode paired with a hard carbon anode can offer high energy density; however, significant interfacial instabilities driven by electrode/electrolyte reactions limit a broader industrial adoption. Localized high concentration electrolytes (LHCEs) are a rational choice as they promote salt decomposition over solvent, forming stable, inorganic-rich electrode-electrolyte interphases (EEIs). We present here a comparison of high-voltage (4.2 V) hard carbon | NaNi 1/3 Fe 1/3 Mn 1/3 O 2 pouch cells in LHCEs and in a standard carbonate-based electrolyte by (i) examining the influence of diluent choice on the electrochemical performance of LHCEs and (ii) investigating how the electrolyte chemistry affects the composition and structure of EEIs formed. Importantly, LHCEs demonstrate superior electrochemical performance, achieving 37% higher capacity after 200 cycles (119 vs. 87 mA h g -1 ) compared to the carbonate-based electrolyte. The enhanced stabilization provided by LHCEs at the interface with high-voltage sodium layered oxide cathode is revealed by gas evolution measurements obtained through online electrochemical mass spectrometry (OEMS). Time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry paired with focused ion beam and advanced statistical analyses reveal that the superior performance of LHCE stems from a robust, thin cathode electrolyte interphase formed on the sodium layered oxide cathode and a homogeneous solid electrolyte interphase formation on the hard carbon anode. Furthermore, this study highlights the critical importance of electrolyte design in interphase stabilization, which plays a key role in advancing sodium-ion batteries toward commercial viability.

FCET Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Testing and Development (CRADA 526) (Final Report)

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) tested electrolyte coatings from Fuel Cell Enabling Technologies, Inc. (FCET) for use in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). The key technology held by FCET is a process to deposit thin layers of oxide materials, less than 1 μm in thickness. The range of possible materials that can be deposited with their method is broad, but this project focused on the gadolinium-doped ceria (GDC) and yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) electrolytes for SOFCs. Thin, gas tight electrolyte membranes have been a long-sought target in SOFC research. The thinner the electrolyte, the lower the cell resistance, and the higher performance of the cell (or the lower the operating temperature). A YSZ thickness of 1 μm would be a step change from the state-of-the-art, tape-cast electrolytes (~10 μm). An in-house prototype SOFC stack from FCET was first tested. The sealing geometry of the prototype stack was determined to be problematic, and testing shifted to button cells. Anode-supported solid oxide electrolysis cell (SOEC) button cells without an electrolyte layer were produced at PNNL and sent to FCET for coating with electrolyte. Three cells were tested with a gadolinium-doped ceria (GDC) electrolyte applied via spin coating. GDC was chosen for its conductivity at lower temperatures than YSZ. All three cells failed during initial reduction under hydrogen at 600°C. Testing then shifted to YSZ, which is the standard SOFC electrolyte. Several button cells were coated with YSZ and examined with scanning electron microscopy (SEM). A promising coating of ~1 mm thickness was observed under SEM. A similarly coated button cell was tested and failed similarly to previous tests during reduction at 600°C. The YSZ coating appeared dense and uniform in SEM analysis. The roughness of the underlying Ni/YSZ anode is on the order of 1 μm, and that may have compromised the gas-tightness of the coating. Further development is warranted to understand and refine the coating process. Thin YSZ applied via this spin-coating technique could be used as a low-cost, drop-in replacement in large-scale SOFC manufacturing processes, improving cell performance and lowering the cost per watt of SOFCs.

Ionic Interdiffusion at Cathode|Solid-Electrolyte Interface: A Machine Learning–Assisted Multiscale Investigation and Mitigation Strategies

Future lithium batteries are expected to use solid electrolytes to achieve higher energy density and fast charge capabilities. However, most solid electrolytes are thermodynamically unstable against layered oxide cathodes. In this study, the stability of LiCoO2 (LCO) cathode with Li10GeP2S12 (LGPS) solid electrolyte is investigated using ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) and machine learning molecular dynamics (MLMD). The propensity of ionic interdiffusion, formation of a passivating interphase layer, and corresponding decay in cell performance is addressed using a continuum model. Large-scale MLMD simulations confirm that the LCO|LGPS interface permits interdiffusion of cobalt (Co) and other ionic species, leading to the formation and growth of a resistive interphase and to dramatic capacity fade even in the first cycle. We examine the literature evidence that incorporating a thin layer of LiNb0.5Ta0.5O3 (LNTO) between LCO and LGPS prevents the interdiffusion of ions. Atomistic simulations suggest that substituting lithium (Li) in LNTO with Co is thermodynamically unfavorable, thereby inhibiting ionic interdiffusion. The stable Nb5+/Ta5+ states form a rigid metal-oxide framework, which consequently also prevents the substitution of niobium (Nb) or tantalum (Ta). However, continuum-level analysis suggests that the higher mechanical stiffness of LNTO can lead to interfacial delamination between the LCO and LNTO. This phenomenon reduces the effectiveness of the protective layer. This paper, therefore, highlights the need to develop novel interlayers that balance low ionic interdiffusion with low mechanical stiffness.

The nature and suppression strategies of interfacial reactions in all-solid-state batteries

Solid-state Li batteries are promising energy storage devices owing to their high safety and high theoretical energy density. However, the serious interfacial reaction between solid state electrolytes and cathodes deteriorates the battery performance, impeding the realization of long-term cyclability. The buried nature of the interphase layer presents a significant challenge in achieving a comprehensive understanding of the underlying interfacial reaction mechanisms. Herein, we systematically explore the interfacial reaction evolutions and interphase compositions and electronic properties between the popular oxide cathodes and sulfide solid electrolytes (SSEs). This includes analysis of the chemical and electrochemical reactions between cathodes/coatings and SSEs, as well as the electrochemical self-decomposition of SSEs by thermodynamic phase equilibrium analysis. Herein, we disclose that the driving force of the electrochemical reaction at the chemical potential of μ Li is much stronger than that of the chemical reaction, which dominates the interfacial reaction. Preventing the formation of an electronically conductive interphase is crucial in inhibiting the continuous interfacial degradation during long-term cycling, which can be achieved through the optimized combination of cathodes and SSEs, as well as the introduction of functional coatings between them. Based on these findings, the percentage of molar fraction ( f ) of electronically conductive species in the formed interphase is proposed as a key factor for indicating the interfacial stability for the first time. Furthermore, we propose a specific high-throughput screening scheme to filter the functional coating materials by comprehensively evaluating their functionality. The tiered screening identifies 48 coating materials with optimal properties. The work highlights the significant roles of rational coupling of the cathodes and SSEs, and optimizing interfacial coating materials for solid-state batteries. It opens new avenues for engineering an interphase with improved interfacial compatibility to realize long-term cyclability.

High-Voltage Sodium–Metal Batteries with Asymmetric Fluoroalkoxylated Organoborate Anion Chemistry

The high reactivity of sodium (Na) metal restricts its compatibility to ether-based electrolytes, while the poor oxidative stability of ethers precludes their coupling to high-voltage cathodes, fundamentally limiting the operating voltage and energy density of sodium–metal batteries (SMBs). We present here a coordination-asymmetry strategy to reconcile this thermodynamic mismatch by generating in situ an asymmetric fluoroalkoxylated organoborate anion, [FB(OCH(CF 3 ) 2 ) 3 ] − (BOF – ), via a Lewis acid–base adduct reaction in ether electrolyte. The asymmetric ligand architecture differentiates oxidative and fluorination pathways: oxidizable B–O moieties mediate controlled interfacial reconstruction, whereas the terminal B–F units supply fluorine for chemical passivation. This self-adaptive chemistry yields nanoscale, conformal, compositionally graded interphases: a boron-oxide/boron-oxycarbide-rich cathode-electrolyte interphase (CEI) that mitigates ether oxidation and a bilayered inorganic–organic solid–electrolyte interphase (SEI) that regulates Na deposition. The nanostructured interphases enable highly reversible Na plating/stripping with an average Coulombic efficiency (CE) of 99.98% and sustain stable 4.3 V operation of anode-free SMBs in oxidation-prone ether electrolytes. Furthermore, this work establishes asymmetric boron coordination as a molecular-level design principle for creating chemically adaptive interphases that overcome the redox asymmetry in energy-dense electrochemical systems.

Molecular-level Regulation of PEO-Based Electrolytes with CaF 2 Nanoparticles for Advanced Solid-State Lithium Metal Batteries

The poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO)-based electrolyte has caught much attention for its flexibility, interfacial compatibility, and low cost, but the low ionic conductivity and poor mechanical strength severely hinder its further application in solid-state batteries. Herein, a molecular level regulation through adding CaF 2 nanoparticle fillers is proposed to enhance the electrochemical performance of the PEO-based electrolyte. The strong coordination effects of the Ca cation with a Li salt anion and ether-oxygen increase the dissociated Li ion concentration and accelerate Li ion migration, thus enhancing the ionic conductivity of the electrolyte when combined with their physical disruption in the PEO matrix (0.31 mS cm -1 at 55 °C). Moreover, the spontaneous reaction between Li and CaF 2 generates a LiF-rich solid electrolyte interphase, which promotes homogeneous Li deposition. Consequently, the PEO-CaF 2 electrolyte delivers symmetric cells over 6300 h and maintains full batteries over 1000 cycles with 80% capacity retention. In conclusion, the assembled pouch-cell displays robust performance, further demonstrating its potential practical application.

Effects of catholyte aging on high-nickel NMC cathodes in sulfide all-solid-state batteries

Sulfide solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) in all-solid-state batteries (SSBs) are recognized for their high ionic conductivity and inherent safety. The LiNi 0.8 Mn 0.1 Co 0.1 O 2 (NMC811) cathode offers a high thermodynamic potential of approximately 3.8 V vs. Li/Li + and a theoretical specific capacity of 200 mA h g −1 . However, the practical utilization of NMC811 in sulfide SSBs faces significant interfacial challenges. The oxidation instability of sulfide solid electrolytes against NMC811 and the formation of the cathode electrolyte interphase (CEI) during cycling lead to degradation and reduced cell performance. Volumetric changes in NMC during lithiation and de-lithiation can also cause detachment from sulfide electrolytes or internal particle cracking. Despite extensive galvanostatic cycling studies to address the issues, the calendar life of sulfide SSBs remains poorly understood. Here, we systematically studied the effects of four different catholytes on the calendar aging of LiNbO 3 (LNO)-coated NMC811, including Li 6 PS 5 Cl (LPSCl), Li 3 InCl 6 –Li 6 PS 5 Cl (LIC–LPSCl), Li 3 YCl 6 –Li 6 PS 5 Cl (LYC–LPSCl), and Li 10 GeP 2 S 12 (LGPS). Our results indicate that LPSCl provides optimal capacity retention when stored at high state-of-charge (SOC) at room temperature, but the LIC–LPSCl cathode shows significant capacity degradation and chemical incompatibility. We also established an effective electrochemical calendar aging testing protocol to simulate daily usage, enabling quick inference of the calendar life of SSBs. In conclusion, this new testing approach accelerates materials selection strategies for high-nickel NMC composite cathodes in sulfide SSBs.

Self-Stabilized LiNi 0.8 Mn 0.1 Co 0.1 O 2 in thiophosphate-based all-solid-state batteries through extra LiOH

Nickle-rich LiNi 0.8 Co 0.1 Mn 0.1 O 2 (NMC 811) cathode material exhibits engaging properties in high energy density and low cost, making it great potential for the next generation high-energy all-solid-state lithium batteries (ASSLBs). However, NMC 811 suffers from severe surface electrochemical, chemical, and voltage incompatibility towards solid-state electrolytes (SSE), especially thiophosphate-based electrolytes like Li 6 PS 5 Cl. Although diverse coating methods have been made to overcome this issue, they are typically cumbersome and expensive. A coating strategy that satisfied all the requirements of cost-efficiency, stability, uniformity, scalability, and easy-achieving is still challenging. Here, we developed a LiOH-based surface stabilization strategy that provides a ~10 nm stable permeable layer on NMC 811. After one-step sintering of NMC 811 precursor mixed with LiOH, which is commonly used for NMC 811 lithiation process, excessive LiOH simultaneously distributes on NMC 811 particles. Unlike other reported methods, this coating method can be easily controlled and fabricated without additional complicated processes. By simply controlling the thickness of LiOH layer, which protects the Li 6 PS 5 Cl solid electrolyte materials from being oxidized, optimized cycling stability can be obtained for 600 cycles with capacity of 130 mAh g – 1 on average at a wide electrochemical window of 2.50–4.20 V (vs. Li-In).

Interface diagnostics platform for thin-film solid-state batteries

Understanding the impedances of battery materials and their interfaces remains a major challenge, usually addressed by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) where frequency-dependent complex impedance of full battery cells is measured and then modeled by a network of connected electrical elements. As conventionally applied, this approach produces ambiguity in that (1) multiple different network configurations may fit the data convincingly and (2) the method offers no direct association of the electrical elements with physical features of the battery. Here we present a new methodology that resolves both sources of ambiguity, enabled by expanding the experimental scope to directly inform the configuration of elements and their parameters in the network model. We demonstrate this methodology using thin film fabrication of solid state battery devices patterned by shadow masked sputter deposition, so that diagnostic devices corresponding to individual interface and material components can be fabricated simultaneously with full cell batteries. EIS models for the diagnostic devices can then be connected to form full cell networks whose topology matches the well-known physical configuration of the battery. When connected in this way, the full network model – made from connecting the diagnostic device EIS models – fits the full cell EIS data. For the case of a thin film solid state battery composed of amorphous silicon anode, lithium phosphorus oxynitride (LiPON) solid electrolyte, and lithium vanadium oxide (Li x V 2 O 5 ) cathode, we show that the approach allows us to identify ionic impedance/conductivity of the cathode/electrolyte as a limiting impedance and the anode/electrolyte interface cycling instability as a primary degradation factor.

Comparative Study of Vinylene Carbonate and Lithium Difluoro(oxalate)borate Additives in a SiO x /Graphite Anode Lithium-Ion Battery in the Presence of Fluoroethylene Carbonate

The SiO x /graphite composite is recognized as a promising anode material for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), owing to the high theoretical capacity of SiO x combined with the excellent stability of graphite. However, the inherent disadvantage of volume expansion in silicon-based anodes places significant challenges on the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) and severely degrades the electrochemical performance. Rational formulation of electrolyte, including its additives, is crucial in accommodating and optimizing the composition of the SEI and enhancing the cell performance. In this work, we present a comparative study of vinylene carbonate (VC) and lithium difluoro(oxalate)borate (LiDFOB) additives combined with fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC) in the electrolyte for SiO x /graphite∥LiNi 1–x–y–z Co x Mn y Al z O 2 full cells. VC outperformed LiDFOB as an additive, delivering higher capacity cycling, higher Coulombic efficiency, and better cycle stability up to 400 cycles. XPS and impedance analyses reveal that LiDFOB contributed to SEI/CEI with both a lower proportion of LiF and a higher proportion of poly(VC), which tended to produce higher cell impedance. XRD and XANES further indicated that using the LiDFOB additive, the NCMA cycled to a shallower degree than that of the VC additive. Although the VC additive maintained a higher capacity up to 400 cycles, microstrain and SEM analyses show a higher strained NCMA along with clear evidence of cracking over the surface of the NCMA particle in VC-based electrolyte but not in LiDFOB. In conclusion, this suggests that the negative influence of LiDFOB at the anode (inferior SEI) supersedes the negative impact of both a cracked NCMA and a deeper cycled NCMA and SiO x -based anode.

Mechanism of Contrasting Ionic Conductivities in Li 2 ZrCl 6 via I and Br Substitution

Understanding the complex structural and chemical factors that influence ionic conduction mechanisms is paramount for developing advanced inorganic superionic conductors in all‐solid‐state batteries, particularly halide solid electrolytes with excellent electrochemical oxidative stability and mechanical sinterability. Herein, contrasting ionic conduction behaviors in I − and Br − substituted Li 2 ZrCl 6 are revealed by combining experimental structural analyses and theoretical calculations. The inter‐slab distance along the c ‐axis, which varies with the anion substitution and M2‐M3 site disorder, is a key factor for opening the ab ‐plane conduction and facilitating the overall Li + conduction. Increased M3 site occupancy generally leads to contracted inter‐slab distance. The substantial increase in Li + conductivity upon I substitution (from 0.40 to 0.91 mS cm −1 ) originates from a sufficiently expanded lattice volume owing to its large ionic radii (I − = 2.20 Å), particularly inter‐slab distance that facilitates the ab intra‐plane Li + conduction, which also benefits from decreased M2‐M3 disorder. In contrast, Br (Br − = 1.96 Å) substitution results in insufficiently expanded Li + channels, which, exacerbated by increased M2‐M3 disorder, leads to degradation in Li + conductivity. Implementing I − substituted Li 2 ZrCl 6 resulted in superior electrochemical performance in LiCoO 2 ||Li‐In cells compared to those with an unsubstituted catholyte.

SiO 2 Is Wasted Space in Single-Nanometer-Scale Silicon Nanoparticle-Based Composite Anodes for Li-Ion Electrochemical Energy Storage

The electrode processing conditions of silicon-based composite anodes play a pivotal role in the resulting interfacial chemical speciation and, thus, the electrochemical cycling behavior of the electrode. Systematically investigating how small chemical changes to the surface of the silicon nanoparticle (NP) affect larger, electrode-level properties is a strategy that will inform design principles to maximize electrode energy density and extend electrode lifetime. Here, we incorporate silicon nanoparticles (NPs) with an average diameter of 5.5 nm synthesized from the gas phase through a nonthermal plasma method into composite anode half-cell coin cells. We perform chemistry to functionalize the native hydride-terminated silicon NP surface with N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) to improve slurry properties and reduce the silicon reactivity prior to composite electrode fabrication. We construct composite electrodes from these silicon NPs and observe an 86% capacity retention over 100 cycles at a rate of C/5, with an initial silicon specific capacity of 2600 mAh/g. We expose the same Si NPs to water that completely oxidizes these small-diameter NPs to SiO 2 and find that the SiO 2 NPs in the same electrode configuration exhibit no obvious lithium alloying capacity in the electrochemical potential range of lithium silicide alloy formation. As this result stands in contrast to existing literature, we provide a discussion on the origin of the discrepancies.

Deciphering Chemical/Electrochemical Compatibility of Li 3 InCl 6 in 5.2 V High-Voltage LiCoO 2 All-Solid-State Batteries

Large interfacial resistance is a widely recognized impediment to the advancement of high-voltage, all-solid-state batteries. However, a comprehensive understanding of the fundamental cause behind the interfacial resistance between solid electrolytes and typical layered oxide cathodes has not yet been achieved. Here, we investigated the high-voltage stability of Li 3 InCl 6 and elucidated the underlying interfacial electrochemical reactions between LiCoO 2 and Li 3 InCl 6 . Further, the pairing of Li 3 InCl 6 with LiCoO 2 exhibited a superior capacity retention of 73.6% even at 5.2 V, much higher than 28.2% charged at 4.6 V in lithium-ion batteries after 70 cycles. The enhanced high-voltage stability of ASSBs is attributed to the stable interface formed between LiCoO 2 and Li 3 InCl 6 and the reinforced surface and bulk structure stability. On the other hand, the ultrahigh voltage still causes the partial decomposition of Li 3 InCl 6 and generates interfacial compounds such as InClO and cobalt and indium chlorides/oxides.

Engineering Functionalized 2D Metal-Organic Frameworks Nanosheets with Fast Li + Conduction for Advanced Solid Li Batteries

Solid-state batteries can ensure high energy density and safety in lithium metal batteries, while polymer electrolytes are plagued by slow ion kinetics and low selective transport of Li + . Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are proposed as emerging fillers for solid-state poly(ethylene oxide)(PEO) electrolytes, however, developing functionalized MOFs and understanding their roles on ion transfer has proven challenging. Herein, combining computational and experimental results, the functional group regulation in MOFs can effectively change surficial charge distribution and limit anion movement is revealed, providing a potential solution to these issues. Specifically, functionalized 2D MOF sheets are designed through molecular engineering to construct high-performance composite electrolytes, where the electron-donating effect of substituents in 2D-MOFs effectively limits the movement of ClO 4 - and promotes mechanical properties and ion migration numbers (0.36 up to 0.64) of PEO. As a result, Li/Li cells with composite electrolyte exhibit superior cyclability for 1000 h at a current density of 0.2 mA cm -2 . Meanwhile, the solid LiFePO 4 /Li battery delivers highly reversible capacities of 148.8 mAh g -1 after 200 cycles. In conclusion, these findings highlight a new approach for anion confinement through the use of functional group electronic effects, leading to enhanced ionic conductivity, and a feasible direction for high-performance solid-state batteries.
