摘要
En 中文
Solid-state batteries featuring fast ion-conducting solid electrolytes are promising next-generation energy storage technologies, yet challenges remain for practical deployment due to electro-chemo-mechanical instabilities at solid-solid interfaces. These interfaces, which include homogeneous/internal interfaces such as grain boundaries (GBs) and heterogeneous/external interfaces between solid-electrolyte and electrode materials, can impede Liion transport, deteriorate performance, and eventually lead to cell failure. Here we leverage large-scale molecular simulations, enabled by validated machine-learning interatomic potentials, to directly probe the onset of interfacial degradation at the garnet Li7La3Zr2O12 (LLZO) solid-electrolyte/LiCoO2 (LCO) cathode interface. By surveying different interfacial geometries and compositions, it is found that Li-deficient interfaces can lead to severe interfacial disordering with cation mixing and Co interdiffusion from LCO into LLZO. By contrast, Lisufficient interfaces are less disordered, although elemental segregation with local ordering is observed. As a consequence of Co interdiffusion, Co-rich regions are formed at the GBs of LLZO due to cation segregation and trapping effects. This behavior is independent of the GB tilting axis, degree of disorder at the GBs, and Co concentration, which implies Co clustering at GBs is a general phenomenon in polycrystalline LLZO and can dictate its overall transport and mechanical properties. Our findings elucidate the underlying fundamental mechanisms that give rise to experimentally observed physicochemical properties and provide guidelines for interface design that can mitigate interfacial degradation and improve cycling performance.
