Abstract

En 中文
Solid-state batteries (SSBs) are considered a promising approach to realizing an anode-free concept with high energy densities. However, the initial Coulombic efficiency (ICE) has remained insufficient for anode-free batteries using sulfide-based solid electrolytes (SEs). Herein, we incorporated a hydride-based interlayer, 3LiBH(4)-LiI (LBHI), between a typical sulfide SE, Li6PS5Cl, and the Cu current collector. By investigating the Li plating and stripping behaviors and the (electro)chemical stability between SEs and plated Li, we demonstrated that LBHI can effectively improve interfacial stability, leading to an ICE exceeding 94% in anode-free half cells. This interlayer also improves Coulombic efficiencies and specific capacities in anode-free full cells. Furthermore, the utilization of LBHI enables one to study Li plating behaviors without interference from interfacial (electro)chemical instabilities. The analysis of stack pressure evolution during electrochemical cycling reveals that soft shorting in SSBs arises from both dendrite formation and deformation, offering insights into further optimizing solid-state anode-free batteries.
