Li7La3Zr2O12 Protonation as a Means to Generate Porous/Dense/Porous-Structured Electrolytes for All-Solid-State Lithium-Metal Batteries

“…On the cathode side, the porous layer is infiltrated with molten polymer catholyte to ensure a good LLZO/cathode contact. This allows us to avoid/decrease the applied stack pressure upon cycling, necessary to establish a good cathode/LLZO physical contact for planar ceramics. , We further show that the generated porous/dense/porous LLZO improves the electrochemical performance in terms of rate capability and long-term stability in symmetric Li/LLZO/Li cells and in Li/LLZO/LFP full cells using PEO–LiTFSI as a catholyte. The proposed method is expected to be readily transferable to thin LLZO tapes with thicknesses below 200 μm avoiding the complications associated with sintering of bilayer and trilayer LLZO structures paving to way to the integration of porous LLZO anodes into a competitive all-solid-state lithium-metal battery.…”

High Energy Density Ultra-thin Li Metal Solid-State Battery Enabled by a Li2CO3-Proof Garnet-Type Solid Electrolyte

“…Solid-state Li metal batteries (SSLMBs) have been of great interest for electric vehicles due to their high energy density and safety features. − Garnet-type Li 7 La 3 Zr 2 O 12 (LLZO) solid electrolyte (SE) is a promising candidate because of its high ionic conductivity and stability with Li metal. − While its preparation and electrical properties have been extensively studied, research on air handleability and Li metal wettability has been relatively limited. − Efforts to enhance air handleability and Li metal wettability have focused mainly on addressing the formation of Li 2 CO 3 on LLZO surfaces when exposed to air. Addressing Li 2 CO 3 formation on LLZO surfaces is critical because the formed Li 2 CO 3 hinders the electrical properties, creates poor interfaces, and reduces Li metal wettability .…”

Hydride-Based Interlayer for Solid-State Anode-Free Battery

“…10 These results have inspired researchers to extend this success by using novel, highly conductive SEs, such as lithium garnet oxide Li 7 La 3 Zr 2 O 12 (LLZO) and sulfide-based lithium argyrodite Li 6 PS 5 Cl (LPSCl), to further improve energy density. 11 LLZObased anode-free cells (Cu|LLZO|Li) reported by Sakamoto et al can achieve a CE of >95%. They also studied the electrochemo-mechanics of Li plating and stripping.…”
