Batteries and Fuel Cells

27.4K
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...

Metallic Solids

18.4K
Metallic solids such as crystals of copper, aluminum, and iron are formed by metal atoms. The structure of metallic crystals is often described as a uniform distribution of atomic nuclei within a “sea” of delocalized electrons. The atoms within such a metallic solid are held together by a unique force known as metallic bonding that gives rise to many useful and varied bulk properties.
All metallic solids exhibit high thermal and electrical conductivity, metallic luster, and malleability....

Ionic Bonding and Electron Transfer02:48

Ionic Bonding and Electron Transfer

41.6K
Ions are atoms or molecules bearing an electrical charge. A cation (a positive ion) forms when a neutral atom loses one or more electrons from its valence shell, and an anion (a negative ion) forms when a neutral atom gains one or more electrons in its valence shell. Compounds composed of ions are called ionic compounds (or salts), and their constituent ions are held together by ionic bonds: electrostatic forces of attraction between oppositely charged cations and anions.

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Electrochemistry
  • Energy Storage

Background:

  • All-solid-state batteries with sulfide electrolytes and lithium metal anodes offer high safety and energy density.
  • A major challenge is the interfacial instability between lithium metal and sulfide electrolytes, hindering practical application.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a dynamically stable sulfide electrolyte architecture for enhanced interfacial stability.
  • To investigate the mechanisms preventing lithium dendrite penetration.

Main Methods:

  • Designing multilayered sulfide electrolyte structures incorporating MS4 (M = Ge or Sn) units.
  • Analyzing the dynamic decomposition-alloying process at the interface.
  • Utilizing a Li6PS5Cl||Li10SnP2S12||Li6PS5Cl electrolyte architecture.

Main Results:

  • The multilayered structure effectively prohibits lithium dendrite penetration through a controlled decomposition-alloying process.
  • Formation of insulating Li2S layers at the interface constrains decomposition and ensures long-term polarization stability.
  • The developed electrolyte architecture enables a lithium metal anode with a critical current density over 3 mA cm-2 and stable over-potential for ~900 hours.
  • A Li||LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2 battery demonstrated 75.3% capacity retention after 600 cycles at 1C under low stack pressure.

Conclusions:

  • A dynamically stable sulfide electrolyte architecture significantly enhances interfacial stability in lithium metal solid-state batteries.
  • This approach addresses critical challenges in lithium dendrite suppression and long-term cycling performance.
  • The findings pave the way for safer and more energy-dense solid-state batteries.
