Abstract:
Garnet-based bulk-type all-ceramic lithium battery (ACLB) is considered to be highly safe, but its electrochemical performance is severely hindered by the huge cathode/electrolyte interfacial resistance. Here, we demonstrate an in situ coated Li2.985B0.005OCl as sintering solder, which is uniformly coated on both LiCoO2 and Li7La3Zr2O12. With the low melting point (267°C) and high ionic conductivity (6.8 × 10-5 S cm-1), the Li2.985B0.005OCl solder not only restricts La/Co interdiffusion, but also provides fast Li+ transportation in the cathode. A low cathode/electrolyte interfacial resistance (386 Ω cm2) is realized owing to the densification of the ACLB by hot-press sintering. The strain/stress of the LiCoO2 is also released by the small elasticity modulus of Li2.985B0.005OCl, leading to a superior cycling stability. The study sheds light on the design of advanced garnet-based bulk-type ACLB by exploring proper solders with higher ionic conductivity, lower melting point, and smaller elasticity modulus.

Spontaneous redox reactions occur abundantly in nature. The chemical reaction occurring in a disposable AA battery powering our remote controls is one such example of a spontaneous redox reaction. Another example is the immersion of coiled copper wire into an aqueous silver nitrate solution. The reaction shows a gradual, visually impressive color change from colorless to bright blue and the formation of a grey precipitate on the copper wire. In this experiment,...
