In situ formation of polymer-inorganic solid-electrolyte interphase for stable polymeric solid-state lithium-metal batteries
Composite polymer electrolytes (CPEs) for solid-state Li-metal batteries (SSLBs) still suffer from gradually increased interface resistance and unconstrained Li-dendrite growth. Herein, we addressed the challenges by designing a LiF-rich inorganic solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI) through introducing a fluoride-salt-concentrated interlayer on CPE film. The rigid but flexible CPE helps accommodate the volume change of electrodes, while the polymeric highly concentrated electrolyte (PHCE) surface-layer regulates Li-ion flux due to the formation of a stable LiF-rich SEI via anion reduction. The designed CPE-PHCE presents enhanced ionic conductivity and high oxidation stability of >5.0 V (versus Li/Li + ). Furthermore, it dramatically reduces the interfacial resistance and achieves a high critical current density of 4.5 mA cm –2 . The SSLBs, fabricated with thin CPE-PHCE membranes (<100 μm) and Co-free LiNiO 2 cathodes, exhibit exceptional electrochemical performance and long cycling stability. Lastly, this approach of SEI design can also be applied to other types of batteries.

An Inorganic‐Rich Solid Electrolyte Interphase for Advanced Lithium‐Metal Batteries in Carbonate Electrolytes
Abstract In carbonate electrolytes, the organic–inorganic solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) formed on the Li‐metal anode surface is strongly bonded to Li and experiences the same volume change as Li, thus it undergoes continuous cracking/reformation during plating/stripping cycles. Here, an inorganic‐rich SEI is designed on a Li‐metal surface to reduce its bonding energy with Li metal by dissolving 4 m concentrated LiNO 3 in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) as an additive for a fluoroethylene‐carbonate (FEC)‐based electrolyte. Due to the aggregate structure of NO 3 − ions and their participation in the primary Li + solvation sheath, abundant Li 2 O, Li 3 N, and LiN x O y grains are formed in the resulting SEI, in addition to the uniform LiF distribution from the reduction of PF 6 − ions. The weak bonding of the SEI (high interface energy) to Li can effectively promote Li diffusion along the SEI/Li interface and prevent Li dendrite penetration into the SEI. As a result, our designed carbonate electrolyte enables a Li anode to achieve a high Li plating/stripping Coulombic efficiency of 99.55 % (1 mA cm −2 , 1.0 mAh cm −2 ) and the electrolyte also enables a Li||LiNi 0.8 Co 0.1 Mn 0.1 O 2 (NMC811) full cell (2.5 mAh cm −2 ) to retain 75 % of its initial capacity after 200 cycles with an outstanding CE of 99.83 %.

An Inorganic-Rich Solid Electrolyte Interphase for Advanced Lithium-Metal Batteries in Carbonate Electrolytes
In carbonate electrolytes, the organic-inorganic solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) formed on the lithium (Li) metal anode surface is strongly bonded to Li and experiences the same volume change as Li, thus it undergoes continuous cracking/reformation during plating/stripping cycles. Here we report, an inorganic-rich SEI is designed on a Li metal surface to reduce its bonding energy with Li metal by dissolving 4 M concentrated LiNO 3 in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) as an additive for a fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC) based electrolyte. Due to the aggregate structure of NO 3 - ions and its participation in the primary Li + solvation sheath, abundant Li 2 O, Li 3 N, and LiN x O y grains are formed in the resulting SEI, in addition to the uniform LiF distribution from the reduction of PF 6 - ions. The inorganic-rich SEI’s weak bonding (high interface energy) to Li can effectively promote Li diffusion along the SEI/Li interface and prevent Li dendrite penetration into the SEI. As a result, our designed carbonate electrolyte enables a Li anode to achieve a high Li plating/stripping CE of 99.55% (1 mA cm -2 , 1.0 mAh cm -2 ) and the electrolyte also enables a Li||LiNi 0.8 Co 0.1 Mn 0.1 O 2 (NMC811) full cell (2.5 mAh cm -2 ) to retain 75%of its initial capacity after 200 cycles with an outstanding CE of 99.83%.

Realizing Complete Solid-Solution Reaction in High Sodium Content P2-Type Cathode for High-Performance Sodium-Ion Batteries
P2-type layered oxides suffer from an ordered Na + /vacancy arrangement and P2→O2/OP4 phase transitions, leading them to exhibit multiple voltage plateaus upon Na + extraction/insertion. The deficient sodium in the P2-type cathode easily induces the bad structural stability at deep desodiation states and limited reversible capacity during Na + de/insertion. These drawbacks cause poor rate capability and fast capacity decay in most P2-type layered oxides. In this work, to address these challenges, a novel high sodium content (0.85) and plateau-free P2-type cathode-Na 0.85 Li 0.12 Ni 0.22 Mn 0.66 O 2 (P2-NLNMO) was developed. The complete solid-solution reaction over a wide voltage range ensures both fast Na + mobility (10 -11 to 10 -10 cm 2 s -1 ) and small volume variation (1.7%). Furthermore, the high sodium content P2-NLNMO exhibits a higher reversible capacity of 123.4 mAhg -1 , superior rate capability of 79.3 mAhg -1 at 20 C, and 85.4% capacity retention after 500 cycles at 5 C. The sufficient Na and complete solid-solution reaction are critical to realizing high-performance P2-type cathodes for sodium-ion batteries.
