Batteries and Fuel Cells

29.8K
A battery is a galvanic cell that is used as a source of electrical power for specific applications. Modern batteries exist in a multitude of forms to accommodate various applications, from tiny button batteries such as those that power wristwatches to the very large batteries used to supply backup energy to municipal power grids. Some batteries are designed for single-use applications and cannot be recharged (primary cells), while others are based on conveniently reversible cell reactions that...

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Electrochemistry
  • Energy Storage

Background:

  • Solid-state lithium-metal batteries (SSBs) face challenges with long-term cycling stability due to interfacial contact loss from lithium anode volume changes.
  • Maintaining stable solid-solid interfaces is crucial for efficient and durable battery operation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop advanced electrolytes for high-performance SSBs with improved cycling stability.
  • To address the issue of interfacial contact loss during lithium plating and stripping cycles.

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of a brick-and-mortar electrolyte film using a Li0.33 La0.56 TiO3-x nanofiber (brick) and viscoelastic/piezoelectric block-copolymer (mortar).
  • Characterization of the electrolyte's mechanical strain (250%) and viscoelastic properties (600% strain).
  • Evaluation of interfacial electric field homogenization and piezoelectricity during Li deposition and stripping.

Main Results:

  • The brick-and-mortar electrolyte demonstrates dynamic adaptability to interface changes, homogenizing electric fields and promoting uniform Li deposition via piezoelectricity.
  • Stable cycling for 1880 hours in Li//Li symmetrical cells without dendrite formation.
  • LiFePO4 /Li full batteries achieved >99.5% coulombic efficiency and >85% capacity retention over 550 cycles.
  • Demonstrated flexibility and safety in pouch cell configurations.

Conclusions:

  • The developed brick-and-mortar electrolytes significantly enhance the cycling stability of solid-state lithium-metal batteries.
