Composite polymer electrolytes (CPEs) for solid-state Li-metal batteries (SSLBs) still suffer from gradually increased interface resistance and unconstrained Li-dendrite growth. Herein, we addressed the challenges by designing a LiF-rich inorganic solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI) through introducing a fluoride-salt-concentrated interlayer on CPE film. The rigid but flexible CPE helps accommodate the volume change of electrodes, while the polymeric highly concentrated electrolyte (PHCE) surface-layer regulates Li-ion flux due to the formation of a stable LiF-rich SEI via anion reduction. The designed CPE-PHCE presents enhanced ionic conductivity and high oxidation stability of >5.0 V (versus Li/Li+). Furthermore, it dramatically reduces the interfacial resistance and achieves a high critical current density of 4.5 mA cm−2. The SSLBs, fabricated with thin CPE-PHCE membranes (<100 μm) and Co-free LiNiO2 cathodes, exhibit exceptional electrochemical performance and long cycling stability. This approach of SEI design can also be applied to other types of batteries.

用于稳定聚合物固态锂金属电池的聚合物-无机固体电解质界面的原位形成
用于固态锂金属电池 (SSLB) 的复合聚合物电解质 (CPE) 仍然存在界面电阻逐渐增加和锂枝晶生长不受限制的问题。在此,我们通过在 CPE 膜上引入氟化盐浓缩夹层来设计富含 LiF 的无机固体电解质中间相 (SEI),从而解决了这些挑战。刚性但柔性的 CPE 有助于适应电极的体积变化,而聚合物高浓度电解质 (PHCE) 表面层通过阴离子还原形成稳定的富含 LiF 的 SEI,从而调节锂离子通量。设计的 CPE-PHCE 具有增强的离子电导率和 >5.0 V 的高氧化稳定性(相对于 Li/Li +)。此外,它显着降低了界面电阻并实现了 4.5 mA cm -2的高临界电流密度。SSLB 由薄 CPE-PHCE 膜(<100 μm)和无 Co LiNiO 2阴极制成,表现出优异的电化学性能和长循环稳定性。这种 SEI 设计方法也可以应用于其他类型的电池。
