Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Electrochemistry
  • Energy Storage

Background:

  • Lithium metal batteries offer high energy density but face challenges with lithium dendrite formation and uneven deposition.
  • Developing stable, Li-free anodes is crucial for practical, high-performance lithium battery applications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To engineer a novel high entropy alloy (HEA) host material for stable lithium metal anodes.
  • To investigate the HEA/C structure's ability to promote homogeneous lithium nucleation and deposition.
  • To evaluate the electrochemical performance of HEA/C in asymmetric, symmetric, and anode-free full cells.

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of a 20 nm ultra-sleek high entropy alloy (NiCdCuInZn) on carbon fiber (HEA/C) via a phase transition method.
  • Characterization of HEA/C's structural and electrochemical properties, including Li+ transport pathways and binding energies.
  • Testing of HEA/C in Li plating/stripping cycling, long-term stability tests, and anode-free full cell configurations.

Main Results:

  • The HEA/C material exhibits multiple Li+ transport paths and active sites with gradient absorption energies, facilitating homogeneous Li nucleation.
  • Achieved high reversibility with 99.6% coulombic efficiency over 2000 cycles in asymmetric cells and over 7200 hours in symmetric cells.
  • Demonstrated excellent performance in anode-free full cells with 99.5% average coulombic efficiency after 160 cycles.

Conclusions:

  • The developed HEA/C structure effectively suppresses lithium dendrite formation and promotes uniform lithium deposition.
  • This advanced HEA design shows significant potential for practical application in high-energy-density, anode-free lithium metal batteries.
