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

Background:

Anode-free lithium metal batteries (AFLMBs) offer high energy density but suffer from inhomogeneous lithium deposition, leading to dendrites and limited cycle life.
The active lithium inventory in AFLMBs is often insufficient, further restricting their long-term performance and practical application.

Purpose of the Study:

To design and investigate a novel mixed ion/electron conductive interlayer for stabilizing lithium deposition in AFLMBs.
To enhance the cycle life and high current deposition stability of AFLMBs through a facile interlayer strategy.

Main Methods:

Fabrication of a mixed ion/electron conductive interlayer (SNAF) comprising Si nanoparticles, carbon nanotubes (CNT), lithium polyacrylic acid (PAALi), and LiF.
Characterization of lithium deposition behavior and electrochemical performance of AFLMBs with the SNAF interlayer.

Main Results:

The SNAF interlayer ensured lithium deposition thickness close to the theoretical value, even at high capacities up to 10 mAh cm⁻².
AFLMBs with the SNAF interlayer demonstrated stable operation under high current densities of 4.29 mA cm⁻².
The interlayer effectively reduced irreversible active lithium loss by acting as an artificial solid electrolyte interphase (ASEI).

Conclusions:

The developed SNAF interlayer significantly improves lithium deposition uniformity and stability in AFLMBs.
This strategy enhances the cycle life and high-current performance of anode-free lithium metal batteries.
The facile interlayer approach holds promise for advancing the development of high-performance AFLMBs.
