Batteries and Fuel Cells

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:

All-solid-state batteries (ASSBs) are gaining traction for electric vehicles (EVs) due to higher energy density and lower costs.
Anode-less ASSBs require protective layers for stable lithium deposition, often necessitating high temperatures for ion diffusion.
Current protective layers face challenges in balancing lithium ion kinetics and interfacial stability.

Purpose of the Study:

To propose a novel dual-seed protective layer for sulfide-based anode-less ASSBs.
To enhance lithium ion diffusion and mechanical stability at the anode interface.
To investigate the synergistic effects of lithiophilic materials in anode-less battery designs.

Main Methods:

Fabrication of a dual-seed protective layer using silver (Ag) and zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles.
Characterization of lithium (Li) deposition behavior and ion diffusion pathways.
Evaluation of full-cell performance, including capacity retention and cycling stability at room temperature.

Main Results:

The Ag-ZnO dual-seed layer facilitates Li diffusion through multiple pathways over a wide potential range.
In situ formation of a ductile Ag-Zn alloy enhances the mechanical stability of the anode interface.
The full cell achieved 80.8% capacity retention over 100 cycles at room temperature (1 mA cm⁻²; 3 mAh cm⁻²).

Conclusions:

The dual-seed protective layer effectively improves performance in anode-less ASSBs.
This approach offers a promising strategy for designing robust and efficient solid-state battery interfaces.
The findings provide insights into multi-seed concepts for enhancing anode-less battery technology.
