Safety Issues

Solid electrolytes, such as perovskite Li3xLa2/1−xTiO3, LixLa(1−x)/3NbO3 and garnet Li7La3Zr2O12 ceramic oxides, have attracted extensive attention in lithium-ion battery research due to their good chemical stability and the improvability of their ionic conductivity with great potential in solid electrolyte battery applications. These solid oxides eliminate safety issues and cycling instability, which are common challenges in the current commercial lithium-ion batteries based on organic liquid electrolytes. However, in practical applications, structural disorders such as point defects and grain boundaries play a dominating role in the ionic transport of these solid electrolytes, where defect engineering to tailor or improve the ionic conductive property is still seldom reported. Here, we demonstrate a defect engineering approach to alter the ionic conductive channels in LixLa(1−x)/3NbO3 (x = 0.1 ~ 0.13) electrolytes based on the rearrangements of La sites through a quenching process. The changes in the occupancy and interstitial defects of La ions lead to anisotropic modulation of ionic conductivity with the increase in quenching temperatures. Our trial in this work on the defect engineering of quenched electrolytes will offer opportunities to optimize ionic conductivity and benefit the solid electrolyte battery applications.

A large number of pores and a low relative density that are frequently observed in solid electrolytes reduce severely their ionic conductivity and thus limit their applicability. Here, we report on the use of hot isostatic pressing (HIP) for ameliorating the garnet-type lithium-ion conducting solid electrolyte of Ga2O3-doped Li7La3Zr2O[Formula: see text] (Ga-LLZO) with nominal composition of Li[Formula: see text]Ga[Formula: see text]La3Zr2O[Formula: see text]. The Ga-LLZO pellets were conventionally sintered at 1075[Formula: see text]C for 12[Formula: see text]h, and then were followed by HIP treatment at 120[Formula: see text]MPa and 1160[Formula: see text]C under an Ar atmosphere. It is found that the HIP-treated Ga-LLZO shows an extremely dense microstructure and a significantly enhanced ionic conductivity. Coherent with the increase in relative density from 90.5% (untreated) to 97.5% (HIP-treated), the ionic conductivity of the HIP-treated Ga-LLZO reaches as high as [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]S/cm at room temperature (25[Formula: see text]C), being two times higher than that of [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]S/cm for the untreated one.

NASICON-type Li[Formula: see text]Al[Formula: see text]Ti[Formula: see text](PO[Formula: see text] (LATP) solid electrolytes have been widely studied because of its stability in the air, low material price and high ionic conductivity. Gd-doped Li[Formula: see text]Al[Formula: see text]Gd[Formula: see text]Ti[Formula: see text](PO[Formula: see text] ([Formula: see text]= 0, 0.025, 0.05, 0.075 and 0.1) with high ionic conductivity was successfully synthesized by solvothermal method for the first time in this work. The effect of Gd doping content on the structure and electrochemical performance of solid electrolytes was systematically studied. The optimal doping content of Gd is [Formula: see text]= 0.075. With the Gd doping content of 0.075, the solid electrolyte has the highest ionic conductivity of 4.23 × 10[Formula: see text] S cm[Formula: see text] at room temperature, the lowest activation energy of 0.247 eV and the highest relative density of 94.89%. This is because the fact that when [Formula: see text]= 0.075, it is the maximum content of Gd[Formula: see text] to replace Al[Formula: see text] and can completely enter the lattice of LATP, and does not emerge too much non-lithium ion conductive GdPO4 phase.

Abstract All-solid-state batteries have been expected to overcome the safety problem of present lithium-ion batteries including organic liquid electrolytes. The materials with high ionic conductivity are urgently needed. In this paper, we reported a new ionic crystal Sr2Fe8O18 which can be applicated on solid electrolyte. Sr2Fe8O18 is a typical p-type semiconductor and shows a layered monoclinic crystal structure. The resistivities of Sr2Fe8O18 in the temperature range of 20 ~ 145 °C were above 107 Ω•cm. The microstructure of Sr2Fe8O18 was flaky, and the size of flaks were 1 µm ~ 5 µm. The E- P curve suggested that it was a ferroelectric semiconductor and had small ferroelectric effect. The dielectric response study (Cole-Cole plot) showed that Sr2Fe8O18 had two separated relaxation time, each of which contained a group of relaxation. The ionic conductivity σ of the sample was calculated to be 0.2196 × 10− 4 S/cm. The conductive mechanism which confirmed by the results of First principle calculation at 300K is mainly sublattice vacancy cation diffusion with self-diffusion coefficient D of 1.794 × 10− 5cm2/s. Fe ion has two dimensional diffusion path (x and y axial), and Sr ion has on dimensional diffusion path (x axial). The crystal structure of Sr2Fe8O18 shows tremendous potential application on the solid electrolyte preparation.

Solid-state polymer lithium-ion batteries with better safety and higher energy density are one of the most promising batteries, which are expected to power future electric vehicles and smart grids. However, the low ionic conductivity at room temperature of solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) decelerates the entry of such batteries into the market. Creating polymer-in-salt solid electrolytes (PISSEs) where the lithium salt contents exceed 50[Formula: see text]wt.% is a viable technology to enhance ionic conductivity at room temperature of SPEs, which is also suitable for scalable production. In this review, we first clarify the structure and ionic conductivity mechanism of PISSEs by analyzing the interactions between lithium salt and polymer matrix. Then, the recent advances on polyacrylonitrile (PAN)-based PISSEs and polycarbonate derivative-based PISSEs will be reviewed. Finally, we propose possible directions and opportunities to accelerate the commercializing of PISSEs for solid polymer Li-ion batteries.

ABSTRACTWe attempt to reveal how electrolyte additives affect the structural evolution of the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) film on the anode surface of a lithium-ion secondary battery. Employing the hybrid Monte-Carlo/molecular-dynamics method, we theoretically investigate the SEI film structures in organic liquid-electrolyte systems with and without an organosilicon additive. The results show that the excessive growth of the SEI film is suppressed by introducing the organosilicon additives. It is further elucidated that the decomposition products of the organosilicon molecules are stably aggregated in the vicinity of the anode surface, and protect the electrolyte solvents and the lithium salts from the further reductive decomposition. These findings imply that the organosilicon additive possibly improves the cycle performance of LIBs owing to the formation of the effective SEI film.

The Cost

The ionic conductivity of a Li–Al–Ge–P–S based thio-LISICON solid electrolyte is equivalent to that of a conventional organic liquid electrolyte used in lithium secondary batteries. The usage of aluminum brings down the cost of the solid electrolyte making it suitable for commercial solid state batteries.
