AbstractMonitoring the formation of dendrites or filaments of lithium is of paramount importance for Li-based battery technologies, hence the intense activities in designing in situ techniques to visualize their growth. Herein we report the benefit of correlating in situ electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy and EPR imaging to analyze the morphology and location of metallic lithium in a symmetric Li/LiPF6/Li electrochemical cell during polarization. We exploit the variations in shape, resonance field and amplitude of the EPR spectra to follow, operando, the nucleation of sub-micrometric Li particles (narrow and symmetrical signal) that conjointly occurs with the fragmentation of bulk Li on the opposite electrode (asymmetrical signal). Moreover, in situ EPR correlated spectroscopy and imaging (spectral-spatial EPR imaging) allows the identification (spectral) and localization (spatial) of the sub-micrometric Li particles created by plating (deposition) or stripping (altered bulk Li surface). We finally demonstrate the possibility to visualize, via in situ EPR imaging, dendrites formed through the separator in the whole cell. Such a technique could be of great help in mastering the Li-electrolyte interface issues that plague the development of solid-state batteries.

NASICON-type solid electrolytes with excellent stability in moisture are promising in all-solid-state batteries and redox flow batteries. However, NASIOCN LiZr2(PO4)3 (LZP), which is more stable with lithium metal than the commercial Li1.3Al0.3Ti1.7(PO4)3, exhibits a low Li-ion conductivity of 10−6 S cm−1 because the fast conducting rhombohedral phase only exists above 50 °C. In this paper, the high-ionic conductive rhombohedral phase is stabilized by Y3+ doping at room temperature, and the hot-pressing technique is employed to further improve the density of the pellet. The dense Li1.1Y0.1Zr1.9(PO4)3 pellet prepared by hot-pressing shows a high Li-ion conductivity of 9 × 10−5 S cm−1, which is two orders of magnitude higher than that of LiZr2(PO4)3. The in-situ formed Li3P layer on the surface of Li1.1Y0.1Zr1.9(PO4)3 after contact with the lithium metal increases the wettability of the pellet by the metallic lithium anode. Moreover, the Li1.1Y0.1Zr1.9(PO4)3 pellet shows a relatively small interfacial resistance in symmetric Li/Li and all-solid-state Li-metal cells, providing these cells a small overpotential and a long cycling life.
