Area of Science:

Materials Science
Electrochemistry
Battery Technology

Background:

The solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) layer quality is critical for Li-metal battery performance.
Natural SEI layers can detach from Li anodes due to poor bonding, hindering battery function.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a method for improving SEI layer adhesion to Li anodes.
To enhance the electrochemical performance and stability of Li-metal batteries.

Main Methods:

Introduction of a silane coupling agent as an adhesion promoter.
Modification of Li metal electrodes with the silane coupling agent.
Electrochemical performance testing under various conditions.
Assessment of air stability after exposure.

Main Results:

Silane coupling agent effectively bridges Li substrate and SEI layer via chemical (Li-O-Si bonds) and physical interactions.
Modified Li metal electrodes show excellent electrochemical performance, even under extreme conditions.
The dense modification layer protects Li metal from air corrosion, maintaining electrochemical activity after air exposure.

Conclusions:

Silane coupling agent modification offers a promising strategy for developing stable Li-metal electrodes.
This approach enhances battery stability in both electrolyte and air environments.
