Changes in nickel oxidation state of chemically delithiated Li0.3Ni0.8Co0.15Al0.05O2 (NCA) in bulk and surface after 35 days @ 80 °C are strongly depending on the type of polymer and lithium salt in the catholyte matrix.

<p>Owing to a remarkably high theoretical energy density, the lithium-sulfur (Li-S) battery has attracted significant attention as a candidate for next-generation batteries. While employing solid electrolytes can provide a new avenue for high capacity Li-S cells, all-solid-state batteries have unique failure mechanisms such as chemo-mechanical failure due to the volume changes of active materials. In this study, we investigate all-solid-state Li-S model cells with differently processed cathode composites and elucidate a typical failure mechanism stemming from irreversible Li<sub>2</sub>S formation in the cathode composites. Reducing the particle size is key to minimizing the influence of volume changes and a capacity of over 1000 mAh g<sub>sulfur</sub><sup>-1</sup>is achieved by ball-milling of the cathode composites. In addition, the long-term stability of the ball-milled cathode is investigated by varying upper and lower cut-off potentials for cycling, which results in unveiling the significantly detrimental role of the lower cut-off potential. Preventing a deep-discharge leads to a reversible capacity of 800 mAh g<sub>sulfur</sub><sup>-1</sup>over 50 cycles in the optimized cell. This work highlights the importance of mitigating chemo-mechanical failure using microstructural engineering as well as the influence of the cut-off potentials in all-solid-state Li-S batteries. </p>

Measures to improve the cycling performance and stability of bulk-type all-solid-state batteries (SSBs) are currently being developed with the goal of substituting conventional Li-ion battery (LIB) technology. As known from liquid electrolyte based LIBs, layered oxide cathode materials undergo volume changes upon (de)lithiation, causing mechanical degradation due to particle fracture, among others. Unlike solid electrolytes, liquid electrolytes are somewhat capable of accommodating morphological changes. In SSBs, the rigidity of the materials used typically leads to adverse contact loss at the interfaces of cathode material and solid electrolyte during cycling. Hence, designing zero- or low-strain electrode materials for application in next-generation SSBs is desirable. In the present work, we report on novel Co-rich NCMs, NCM361 (60% Co) and NCM271 (70% Co), showing minor volume changes up to 4.5 V vs Li<sup>+</sup>/Li, as determined by <i>operando</i> X-ray diffraction and pressure measurements of LIB pouch and pelletized SSB cells, respectively. Both cathode materials exhibit good cycling performance when incorporated into SSB cells using argyrodite Li<sub>6</sub>PS<sub>5</sub>Cl solid electrolyte, albeit their morphology and secondary particle size have not yet been optimized.
