Appropriate FeF2 enhancing interface stability of lithium battery with solid-liquid hybrid electrolyte
摘要
Solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) have attracted much attention due to their high safety and cycling stability for lithium-ion batteries. However, the high interface impedance between the electrode and the solid-state electrolyte hinders their practical application. In this work, the solid-liquid hybrid electrolyte S-Li1.3Al0.3Ti1.7(PO4)3-LE05(S-LATP-LE05) (LATP: Li1.5Al0.5Ti1.5 (PO4)3) sheet is prepared by dropping liquid electrolyte (LE) with appropriate FeF2 into spark plasma sintering S-LATP (solid-liquid hybrid electrolyte), which shows high-density and high-ionic-conductivity (5.78×10−4 S/cm). When the amount of FeF2 is 0.5 wt%, the interfacial properties between the anode and electrolyte are improved, and the S-LATP is well protected by LiF-rich (solid electrolyte interface) (SEI) interface in cycling process. The Li∣S-LATP-LE05∣Li symmetric battery and full battery show better electrochemical performance and stability relatively. The overpotential of the Li∣S-LATP-LE05∣Li symmetric battery is smaller and shows more stable electrochemical performance after cycling for 350 h, revealing good compatibility with a lithium metal anode and can inhibit the growth of lithium dendrites effectively. The Li∣S-LATP-LE05∣LiFePO4 full battery delivers a specific discharge capacity of 160 mA·h/g at 0.2C for 50 cycles. The corresponding coulombic efficiency is about 99.9% and displays better rate performance compared with the battery without FeF2 LE.
