Solid-state Li metal batteries hold the promise to boost the performance of conventional Li-ion battery technologies; being capable of storing more energy as well as being safe from combustion. However, replacing the ubiquitous liquid electrolyte in a Li-ion battery, by a solid electrolyte is great scientific challenge. The poor contact and the highly resistive interfaces between the solid electrolyte and the solid electrodes are a major limitation for practical application.
This presentation will report on the development and prospective solutions of solid-state Li metal batteries. First, I will focus on Li7La3Zr2O12 (LLZO) garnet electrolyte [1], discussing the interfacial limits with Li metal anode leading to unexpected short-circuit and cell failure [2]. Then, a promising alternative to full ceramic electrolytes will be proposed based on elastic polymer-ceramic composite membranes. This combination of hard-soft electrolyte materials is found to greatly enhance the interfacial stability and electrodeposition properties with Li metal anode, offering new opportunities for application in solid-state batteries.
