摘要

In sulfide-based all-solid-state lithium batteries (ASLBs), the development of high-capacity anode materials with stable interfaces to sulfide solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) is critical. Here, In2O3 is explored as an anode material for ASLBs for the first time, demonstrating exceptional interfacial stability and electrochemical performance. The In2O3 anode, with a substantial mass loading of 7.64 mg cm−2, sustains a charge-specific capacity of 528.0 mAh g−1 (4.03 mAh cm−2) at a current density of 0.76 mA cm−2 over 500 cycles, with a capacity retention of 81.2%. Additionally, it exhibits remarkable long-term cycling stability (2900 cycles) under a high current density of 3.82 mA cm−2, with an exceptionally low decay rate of 0.016% per cycle. The charge–discharge mechanism of the In2O3 anode is elucidated in detail, revealing that the electrochemical evolution of In2O3 in ASLBs involves not only the alloying/dealloying process of indium (In) but also a conversion reaction between In and Li2O. Notably, as cycling progresses, the conversion reaction of In and Li2O diminishes, with the reversible alloying/dealloying process becoming predominant. This work offers valuable insights for advancing oxide anode materials in sulfide-based ASLBs.
