Mass transport and charge transfer through an electrified interface between metallic lithium and solid-state electrolytes

Abstract All-solid-state Li-ion batteries are one of the most promising energy storage devices for future automotive applications as high energy density metallic Li anodes can be safely used. However, introducing solid-state electrolytes needs a better understanding of the forming electrified electr...

description Abstract All-solid-state Li-ion batteries are one of the most promising energy storage devices for future automotive applications as high energy density metallic Li anodes can be safely used. However, introducing solid-state electrolytes needs a better understanding of the forming electrified electrode/electrolyte interface to facilitate the charge and mass transport through it and design ever-high-performance batteries. This study investigates the interface between metallic lithium and solid-state electrolytes. Using spectroscopic ellipsometry, we detected the formation of the space charge depletion layers even in the presence of metallic Li. That is counterintuitive and has been a subject of intense debate in recent years. Using impedance measurements, we obtain key parameters characterizing these layers and, with the help of kinetic Monte Carlo simulations, construct a comprehensive model of the systems to gain insights into the mass transport and the underlying mechanisms of charge accumulation, which is crucial for developing high-performance solid-state batteries.
