CO2 is used as a precursor in atomic/molecular layer deposition (ALD/MLD) for the fabrication of lithium ethylene carbonates, which are the organic species that naturally form in the solid electrolyte interphase of a typical lithium-ion battery.

The design of multifunctional thin films holds the key to manipulate the surface and interface structure of the electrode and electrolyte in rechargeable batteries and achieve desirable performance for various applications. Molecular layer deposition (MLD) is an emerging thin-film technique with exclusive advantages of depositing hybrid organic-inorganic materials at a nanoscale level and with well tunable and unique properties that conventional thin films might not have. Herein, we provide a timely mini-review on the most recent progress in the surface chemistry and MLD process of novel hybrid organic-inorganic thin films and their applications as the anode, cathode, and solid electrolytes in lithium-ion batteries. Perspectives for future research in designing new MLD process and precursors, enriching MLD material library, and expanding their potential applications in other energy storage systems, are discussed at the end.

In this work, we for the first time developed a novel lithium-containing crosslinked polymeric material, a lithicone that enables excellent protection effects over lithium (Li) metal anodes. This new lithicone was synthesized via an accurately controllable molecular layer deposition (MLD) process, in which lithium tert-butoxide (LTB) and glycerol (GL) were used as precursors. The resultant LiGL lithicone was analyzed using a suite of characterizations. Furthermore, we found that the LiGL thichicone could serve as an exceptional polymeric protection film over Li metal anodes. Our experimental data revealed that the Li electrodes coated by this LiGL lithicone can achieve a superior cycling stability, accounting for an extremely long cyclability of >13,600 Li-stripping/plating cycles and having no failures so far in Li/Li symmetric cells at a current density of 5 mA/cm2 and an areal capacity of 1 mAh/cm2. We found that, with a sufficient protection by this LiGL coating, Li electrodes could realize long-term stable cyclability with little formation of Li dendrites and solid electrolyte interphase. This novel LiGL represents a facile and effective solution to the existing issues of Li anodes and potentially paves a technically feasible route for lithium metal batteries.
