In this study, a multi-layer structure solid electrolyte (SE) for all-solid-state electrolyte lithium ion batteries (ASSLIBs) was fabricated and characterized. The SE was fabricated by laminating ceramic electrolyte Li1.3Al0.3Ti1.7(PO4)3 (LATP) with polymer (PEO)10-Li(N(CF3SO2)2 electrolyte and gel-polymer electrolyte of PVdF-HFP/ Li(N(CF3SO2)2. It is shown that the interfacial resistance is generated by poor contact at the interface of the solid electrolytes. The lamination protocol, material selection and fabrication method play a key role in the fabrication process of practical multi-layer SEs.

Though the energy density of lithium-ion batteries continues to increase, safety issues related with the internal short-circuit and the resulting combustion of highly flammable electrolyte impede the further development of lithium-ion batteries. It has been well-accepted that a thermal stable separator is important to postpone the entire battery short-circuit and thermal-runaway. Traditional methods to improve the thermal stability of separators includes surface modification and/or developing alternate material systems for separators which may always affect the battery performance negatively. Herein, a thermostable and shrink-free separator with little compromise in battery performance is prepared by coaxial electrospinning and tested. The separator consists of core-shell fiber networks where poly(vinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF-HFP) layer serves as shell and polyacrylonitrile (PAN) as the core. This core-shell fiber network exhibits little or even no shrinking/melting at elevated temperature over 250 °C. Meanwhile, it shows excellent electrolyte wettability and can take large amount of liquid electrolyte three times more than that of conventional Celgard 2400 separator. In addition, the half-cell using LiNi1/3Co1/3Mn1/3O2 as cathode and the aforementioned electrospun core-shell fiber network as separator demonstrates superior electrochemical behavior, stably cycling for 200 cycles at 1 C with a reversible capacity of 130 mAh g-1 and little capacity decay.

<p>Silicon carbon void structures (Si-C) are attractive anode materials for Lithium-ion batteries to cope with the volume changes of silicon during cycling. In this study, Si-C with varying Si contents (28 ‑ 37 %) are evaluated in all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs) for the first time. The carbon matrix enables enhanced performance and lifetime of the Si-C composites compared to bare silicon nanoparticles in half-cells even at high loadings of up to 7.4 mAh cm<sup>-2</sup>. In full cells with nickel-rich NCM (LiNi<sub>0.9</sub>Co<sub>0.05</sub>Mn<sub>0.05</sub>O<sub>2</sub>, 210 mAh g<sup>-1</sup>), kinetic limitations in the anode lead to a lowered voltage plateau compared to NCM half-cells. The solid electrolyte (Li<sub>6</sub>PS<sub>5</sub>Cl, 3 mS cm<sup>-1</sup>) does not penetrate the Si-C void structure resulting in less side reactions and higher initial coulombic efficiency compared to a liquid electrolyte (72.7 % vs. 31.0 %). Investigating the influence of balancing of full cells using 3-electrode ASSB cells revealed a higher delithiation of the cathode as a result of the higher cut-off voltage of the anode at high n/p ratios. During galvanostatic cycling, full cells with either a low or rather high overbalancing of the anode showed the highest capacity retention of up to 87.7 % after 50 cycles. </p>

All solid-state batteries (ASSBs) are now anticipated to be an ultimate solution to the persistent safety issues of conventional lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Contemporary society’s expanding power demands and growing energy consumption require energy storage with greater reliability, safety and capacity, which cannot be easily achieved with current state-of-the-art liquid-electrolyte-based LIBs. In contrast, these conditions are expected to be met by implementing ASSBs with high-performance solid-state electrolytes (SSEs). In this work, we altered the microscopic structure and Li diffusional behaviors of argyrodites (Li<sub>6-x</sub>PS<sub>5-x</sub>Cl<sub>1+x</sub>), which were precisely monitored with cooling protocols. It was shown that, at the cooling speed of -3 <sup>o</sup>C·h<sup>-1</sup>, as the cooling rate decreased, impurities in Li<sub>5.5</sub>PS<sub>4.5</sub>Cl<sub>1.5</sub> such as LiCl and Li<sub>3</sub>PO<sub>4</sub> gradually diminished and eventually disappeared. At the same time, differences in the lattice sizes of Li<sub>5.5</sub>PS<sub>4.5</sub>Cl<sub>1.5</sub> crystallites gradually decreased, resulting in a single phase Li<sub>5.5</sub>PS<sub>4.5</sub>Cl<sub>1.5</sub>. It was also found that the Cl content of the 4d crystallographic sites increased, eventually contributing to the improvement in ionic conductivity. This work also revealed the effect of cooling rates on the crystallographic atomic arrangements, which became weaker as a decrease in x. The correlations between ionic conductivities and structural features were experimentally verified via XRD and solid-state NMR studies.

The Li2ZrO3 nanolayer was coated over LiNi0.6Co0.2Mn0.2O2 cathode material (NCM) to produce all-solid-state lithium ion batteries and their enhanced electrochemical properties were determined. To relieve interfacial resistance resulting from insufficient contact, a Li2ZrO3 nanolayer is a suitable cathode coating agent because it can block corrosive species and decrease contact loss, along with elimination of the space-charge layer. All-solid-state cells using Li2ZrO3-coated NCM material showed higher capacity than pristine NCM. X-ray diffraction patterns showed the same peak separations and lattice parameters as pristine material. Scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy images obtained with electron dispersive spectroscopy mapping confirmed homogeneous coating with a uniformly thick Li2ZrO3 layer of around 5 nm. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy revealed that the surface of NCM had two different O1s peaks, with a Zr–O peak, and Ni, Co, Mn, and Zr peaks. Electrochemical studies on pristine and Li2ZrO3-coated NCM materials were conducted using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy with galvanostatic cycle performances by constructing an all-solid-state cell. The impedance spectra showed relieved interfacial resistance with low polarization as coating agent was added. Notably, the 4 wt.% Li2ZrO3-coated NCM exhibited capacity retention of 81% at a current density of 0.12 mA/cm2 after 30 cycles, while that of the pristine cell hadunstable cycle performance and a low capacity retention of 69 percent. Thus, the Li2ZrO3-coated NCM material exhibited potential for all-solid-state batteries requiring high power or stable application.
