Exploring the Electrochemical Stability Window of an All-Solid-State Composite Cathode via a Novel Operando Tender XPS Setup

All-solid-state batteries (ASSBs) have the potential to provide greater energy density than conventional batteries based on liquid electrolytes. Here, an operando ASSB cell setup for tender X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was developed, and the interface of a Ni-rich layered transition metal oxide cathode active material (CAM) and an Li 6 PS 5 Cl (LPSCl) solid electrolyte (SE) was evaluated during initial charge/discharge cycles. After validating the cell performance against a conventional pouch cell operated at high compression, intermittent galvanostatic cycling was performed, and XPS data were recorded as a function of state of charge (SOC). Upon the initial charge of the cell to ≈3.3 V Li , the LPSCl appears to decompose into LiCl, Li 3 PS 4 , and polysulfides, whose amount gradually increases with potential. Upon further charge, at a potential higher than ≈3.8 V Li , initially, present sulfate and sulfite impurities decompose, and at ≈74% SOC (corresponding to a cathode potential of ≈4.10 V Li ), surface reconstruction of the CAM particles due to lattice oxygen release is detected. In addition, at potentials beyond ≈4.6 V Li , a decrease of the S 1s counts of the sum of the LPSCl, the thiophosphate, and polysulfide species suggests the formation of elemental sulfur that is lost via sublimation into the vacuum chamber.

X-ray Micro-Computed Tomography for Structural Analysis of All-Solid-State Battery at Pouch Cell Level

Characterizing the microstructure of all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs) during fabrication and operation is vital for their advancement, particularly as scaling to pouch cell levels introduces challenges in probing large-scale microstructural evolution. This work highlights the potential of synchrotron X-ray micro-computed tomography (sXCT) as a nondestructive, rapid (<30 min), and high-resolution technique for visualizing and quantifying key microstructural features, including overhang, porosity, contact loss, active surface area, and tortuosity, in all-solid-state pouch cells. The large field of view (up to millimeters) of sXCT enables detailed analysis at an industry-relevant scale, bridging the gap between laboratory research and commercial applications. Furthermore, integrating realistic sXCT-derived 3D models into multiphysics simulations could provide insights into chemo-mechanical degradation, particularly at the edges of the pouch cells, offering a pathway for designing robust, high-performance ASSBs. This perspective establishes sXCT as an indispensable tool for advancing both the understanding and the engineering of next-generation energy storage systems.

Impacts of the Conductive Networks on Solid‐State Battery Operation

The micromorphology of composite cathodes is known to play a vital role in determining all-solid-state battery (ASSB) performance. However, much of our current understanding is derived from empirical observations, lacking a deeper mechanistic foundation. The “rocking chair” concept of battery chemistry requires maintaining charge neutrality, emphasizing the necessity of examining electrode micromorphology from the perspective of conductive networks. This study systematically investigates the microscopic electrochemical impacts of conductive network micromorphology by varying the Li + -to-e − channel ratio in cathodes comprising LiNbO 3 -coated LiNi 0.8 Co 0.1 Mn 0.1 O 2 , Li 6 PS 5 Cl, and carbon fibers. Utilizing multiscale synchrotron-based spectro-microscopy, we unravel that unbalanced Li + and e − conducting channels intensify charge polarization within active cathode particles and accelerate their degradation. A further model system with X-ray nano-tomography resolved e − and Li + channels indicates that spatially uniform and well-paired Li + and e − conducting channels are highly desirable as they could promote more uniform lithiation/delithiation, mitigating microscopic electrochemical polarization. Electrode-scale X-ray holotomography analysis reveals that the impact of conductive networks is particle-size-dependent, with smaller cathode particles being more significantly affected. These findings provide mechanistic insights into the interplay between conductive networks and all-solid-state battery operation, laying the groundwork for rational design and optimization of cathode architectures in future solid-state battery technologies.

Interphase Stabilization of LiNi 0.5 Mn 1.5 O 4 Cathode for 5 V–Class All–Solid–State Batteries

Employing high voltage cobalt-free spinel LiNi 0.5 Mn 1.5 O 4 (LNMO) as a cathode is promising for high energy density and cost-effectiveness, but it has challenges in all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs). Here, it is revealed that the limitation of lithium argyrodite sulfide solid electrolyte (Li 6 PS 5 Cl) with the LNMO cathode is due to the intrinsic chemical incompatibility and poor oxidative stability. Through a careful analysis of the interphase of LNMO, it is elucidated that even the halide solid electrolyte (Li 3 InCl 6 ) with high oxidative stability can be decomposed to form resistive interphase layers with LNMO in ASSBs. Interestingly, with Fe-doping and a Li 3 PO 4 protective layer coating, LNMO with Li 3 InCl 6 displays stable cycle performance with a stabilized interphase at a high voltage (≈4.7 V) in ASSBs. The enhanced interfacial stability with the extended electrochemical stability window through doping and coating enables high electrochemical stability with LNMO in ASSBs. Furthermore, this work provides guidance for employing high-voltage cathodes in ASSBs and highlights the importance of stable interphases to enable stable cycling in ASSBs.

Tunable Crosslinked Ether Polymer Network Electrolytes for High‐Performance All‐Solid‐State Sodium Batteries

All-solid-state batteries (ASSBs) are critical for achieving high energy density and enhanced safety. Solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) offer key advantages over other electrolytes, including improved safety, flexibility, and interfacial contact. Among the SPEs, ether-based polymers are widely studied due to their ease of processing and high ionic conductivity (σi) in the amorphous state. In this work, the introduction of poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate (PEGMEMA) into an SPE matrix composed of poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEGDA), poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG2k), and sodium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide (NaFSI) salt is investigated to facilitate the formation of amorphous, high σ i SPEs through end-group engineering and polymer ratio optimization. PEGMEMA enhances structural integrity via crosslinking with PEGDA through its methacrylate group, while its methyl end group aids ion conduction. A 2:1:7 ratio of PEGDA:PEGMEMA:PEG2k exhibits a σi of 1.16 x 10 -4 S cm -1 and oxidative stability up to 4.4 V at 60 °C. A solid-state cell incorporating this SPE, a Na 2/3 Ni 1/3 Mn 2/3 O 2 (NM12) cathode, and a sodium-metal anode demonstrates excellent cycling stability, retaining over 80 % of its initial capacity for 150 cycles at 60 °C. The findings highlight the potential of end-group engineering in improving the electrochemical performance of SPEs.

Accelerating Laboratory-Based, All-Solid-State Battery Research and Development: Industrially Relevant Small-Batch Dry-Processing, Small and Low-Cost Test Fixtures, and Short-Tolerant Separators

This work presents improvements to mixing (for dry-processed electrodes), separator robustness, and cell testing jigs for all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs). These developments combine synergistically to enable rapid research and development of ASSB catholytes. A mechanical "kneader" is designed and built which emulates the mixing and fibrillation of poly-tetrafluoroethylene binder that occurs in industrially relevant twin-screw extruders. A modest improvement in the mixing and dispersion catholyte materials is observed using micro-resolution X-ray computed tomography (X-ray CT). Catholytes are paired with an In-metal anode and separated by a novel, dual-layer, polyaramid-fiber-supported, sulfide-solid electrolyte (Li6 PS5 Cl) separator. This separator achieves high short tolerance which enabled a 95% success rate across 20 attempted cells and to date over 100 successful cells have been built. ASSBs were tested in a 2032 coin-cell format. Simultaneous cycling of a large number of cells is further enabled by a compact and low cost (~ 38 USD per jig) pressure application jig of which 100 have been constructed to date. The utility of these advances is demonstrated through a brief study on the effect cathode-side conductive carbon and current collector type has on capacity and rate performance.

Effective Li-Ion Transport Quantification in Composite Cathodes for All-Solid-State Batteries via Multiscale Modeling and Experiments

The tortuosity factor of composite cathodes significantly affects the rate performance of all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs) and has significant differences from systems with liquid electrolytes. Here, in this work, we report a simulation-experiment combined approach that quantifies the effective Li-ion transport in an ASSB composite cathode, which links tortuosity factor on ∼ μm scale to terminal voltage during cycling at the cell level (on ∼ cm scale). Two independent approaches of tortuosity factor quantification are considered: fitting electrochemical cycling data and verifying at different cycling rates and calculating from segmented tomography images, with the tortuosity factor quantified from both methods reaching self-consistency. The simulated terminal voltage using the quantified tortuosity factor has a small relative error of <3% compared to the experimental measurements. We find a significantly reduced value of the Bruggeman exponent of the catholyte phase (1.75), and using shape analysis, we show that rod-shaped catholyte particles play an important role in lowering the tortuosity factor.

Li 2 GeS 3 : Lithium Ionic Conductor with an Unprecedented Structural Type

Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are widely used in electric vehicles, mobile electronic devices, and large-scale stationary energy storage systems. However, their liquid electrolytes present significant safety concerns due to their inherent flammability. To address this, the focus has shifted toward all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs) utilizing inorganic solid electrolytes that promise enhanced safety. In this work, we report the discovery of a new crystal structural type of Li-ion conductor, Li 2 GeS 3 , with a unique structure, synthesized by a solid-state reaction from Li 2 S and GeS 2 . It was first reported in 2000 with an orthorhombic unit cell, but its detailed crystal structure remains veiled. Here, we have unveiled its structure for the first time, employing an ab initio structure determination technique from powder X-ray and time-of-flight neutron diffraction data. The compound has an unprecedented crystal structural type with a hexagonal $P6_1$ symmetry and a unit cell of α = 6.79364(4) Å and c = 17.90724(14) Å. Its structure is comprised of a distorted hexagonal close-packed arrangement of sulfur anions with three asymmetric metal atoms: Li1, Li2, and Ge are in tetrahedral cavities surrounded by sulfur atoms. The ionic conductivity of Li 2 GeS 3 was measured to be 1.63 × 10 –8 S cm –1 at 303 K and 2.45 × 10 –7 S cm –1 at 383 K. Bond valence energy landscape calculations revealed three-dimensional lithium diffusion pathways within the structure. This novel crystal structure in Li 2 GeS 3 holds the potential for developing high-performance ionic conductors through suitable chemical substitution and offers valuable insights into designing new ionic conductors for ASSBs.

Sliceable, Moldable, and Highly Conductive Electrolytes for All-Solid-State Batteries

All-solid-state batteries (ASSBs) require solid electrolytes with high ionic conductivity, stability, and deformability for optimal energy and power density. Here, we developed lithium-deficient lithium yttrium bromide (LYB) solid electrolytes, Li 3–x YBr 6–x (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.50), using a comelting method with controlled lithium deficiency. These electrolytes exhibit favorable mechanical properties such as high moldability and sliceability. The Li 2.65 YBr 5.65 composition has an ionic conductivity of 4.49 mS cm –1 at 25 °C and an activation energy of 0.28 eV. Compared to Li 3 YBr 6 , Li 2.65 YBr 5.65 demonstrates improved rate performance and cycling stability in ASSBs. High-resolution X-ray diffraction confirms the formation of the LYB phase with a C2/m space group. Structural analysis reveals increased cation disorder and larger polyhedral volumes for x > 0 in Li 3–x YBr 6–x , contributing to reduced Li + migration energy barriers. Bond valence site energy calculations and molecular dynamics simulations reveal enhanced 3D lithium-ion transport. NMR spectroscopy further highlights increased Li + dynamics and impurity elimination.

Aliovalent Anion Incorporation in Halide Na-ion Conductors for Enhanced Ionic Conductivity

Halide-based solid electrolytes (SEs), particularly zirconium (Zr)-centered halides, are attractive from a material cost perspective. Nevertheless, Zr-centered halide SEs are hindered by their low ionic conductivity. Here, in this study, we report on the cubic Na 3 ZrCl 5 S superionic conductor through strategic sulfur anion incorporation, achieving 10 times higher ionic conductivity than that of Na 2 ZrCl 6 . With the optimal composition, the highest ionic conductivity of 0.753 mS cm –1 is obtained for the 0.6Na 2 S–1.4NaCl–ZrCl 4 compound. When paired with a NaCrO 2 cathode, the assembled all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs) achieve a specific discharge capacity of 110 mA h g –1 at 0.1C and exhibit long-term cycling stability at 0.3C at room temperature over 1000 cycles (with 83% capacity retention). Moreover, in situ electrochemical impedance spectroscopy combined with distribution of relaxation times analysis reveal the dynamically interfacial stability between Na halide with electrodes. In conclusion, this work highlights the design and synthesis of advanced halide electrolytes through anion incorporation, paving the way for the development of next-generation ASSBs.

Amorphous ZrCl 4 -Based Superionic Conductor as a Cost-Effective Solid Electrolyte for Batteries

Developing highly conductive and cost-effective solid electrolytes is essential for the commercialization of all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs). Zr-based halide electrolytes hold great promise due to their low estimated cost and high oxidation stability. However, the ionic conductivities of most of them are not high enough to enable moderate- and high-rate cycling of ASSBs. Here, fast ion transport is achieved in a group of cost-effective ZrCl 4 -based electrolytes via a design strategy to create highly disordered amorphous structures. Amorphous Li 0.8 ZrCl 4 (SO 4 ) 0.4 , with a low estimated cost of $21 kg –1 , achieves an ionic conductivity of 1.86 mS cm –1 at 25 °C. It also shows a high oxidation limit of 4.5 V vs Li/Li + and good compatibility with high-voltage cathodes, as demonstrated by the stable cycling of ASSBs (73.7% capacity retention after 1000 cycles at 1 C). Synchrotron X-ray diffraction, pair distribution function analysis, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy reveal that the outstanding conductivity of these amorphous electrolytes is closely related to their short-range and medium-range ordering, revealing new insights for designing high-performance, cost-effective solid electrolytes.

Amorphous Oxyhalide Matters for Achieving Lithium Superionic Conduction

The recently surged halide-based solid electrolytes (SEs) are great candidates for high-performance all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs), due to their decent ionic conductivity, wide electrochemical stability window, and good compatibility with high-voltage oxide cathodes. In contrast to the crystalline phases in halide SEs, amorphous components are rarely understood but play an important role in Li-ion conduction. Here, we reveal that the presence of amorphous component is common in halide-based SEs that are prepared via mechanochemical method. The fast Li-ion migration is found to be associated with the local chemistry of the amorphous proportion. Taking Zr-based halide SEs as an example, the amorphization process can be regulated by incorporating O, resulting in the formation of corner-sharing Zr–O/Cl polyhedrons. This structural configuration has been confirmed through X-ray absorption spectroscopy, pair distribution function analyses, and Reverse Monte Carlo modeling. The unique structure significantly reduces the energy barriers for Li-ion transport. As a result, an enhanced ionic conductivity of (1.35 ± 0.07) × 10 –3 S cm –1 at 25 °C can be achieved for amorphous Li 3 ZrCl 4 O 1.5 . In addition to the improved ionic conductivity, amorphization of Zr-based halide SEs via incorporation of O leads to good mechanical deformability and promising electrochemical performance. In conclusion, these findings provide deep insights into the rational design of desirable halide SEs for high-performance ASSBs.

Overcoming the conversion reaction limitation at three-phase interfaces using mixed conductors towards energy-dense solid-state Li–S batteries

Lithium–sulfur (Li–S) all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs) hold great promise for next-generation safe, durable and energy-dense battery technology. However, solid-state sulfur conversion reactions are kinetically sluggish and primarily constrained to the restricted three-phase boundary area of sulfur, carbon and solid electrolytes, making it challenging to achieve high sulfur utilization. Here, in this study, we develop and implement mixed ionic–electronic conductors (MIECs) in sulfur cathodes to replace conventional solid electrolytes and invoke conversion reactions at sulfur–MIEC interfaces in addition to traditional three-phase boundaries. Microscopic and tomographic analyses reveal the emergence of mixed-conducting domains embedded in sulfur at sulfur–MIEC boundaries, helping promote the thorough conversion of active sulfur into Li 2 S. Consequently, substantially improved active sulfur ratios (up to 87.3%) and conversion degrees (>94%) are achieved in Li–S ASSBs with high discharge capacity (>1,450 mAh g –1 ) and long cycle life (>1,000 cycles). The strategy is also applied to enhance the active material utilization of other conversion cathodes.

Visualizing the SEI formation between lithium metal and solid-state electrolyte

The solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) is regarded as the most important factor affecting the durability of lithium-metal anode in all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs). Despite its significance, the nucleation and growth mechanism of SEI is not yet well understood. Here, we elucidate the thermodynamics and kinetics governing SEI formation at the Li|β-Li 3 PS 4 interface at the atomic scale via thermodynamic phase equilibrium analysis and machine-learning-potential-assisted molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. An accurate moment tensor potential using the machine-learning method is developed for a reactive model of Li|β-Li 3 PS 4 . This potential enabled us to perform large-scale MD simulations with the model size expanded to the experimental dimensions (~40 nm) while maintaining the same level of accuracy as density functional theory calculations. The results reveal a four-stage evolution process at the Li|β-Li 3 PS 4 interface, namely (i) fast ion diffusion, (ii) nucleation, (iii) Li 2 S growth, and (iv) stabilization. Notably, we demonstrate that the SEI can be categorized into crystalline and amorphous regions. The simulated SEI thickness, structure, and composition closely match experimental findings, validating the accuracy of the MD simulations. We further disclose the significant impact of ion diffusion kinetic limitations on the phase formation and crystallization of interfacial products. Furthermore, we shed light on the detailed potential energy (PE) distribution of lithium along the direction perpendicular to the interface. Finally, this information is crucial for better understanding interfacial ion mobility.

Kinetic Effects of Anion Clusters on the Interfacial Stability between Solid-State Electrolyte and Metal Anode

The success of all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs) depends on the solid-state electrolyte (SSE) exhibiting high interfacial stability and room-temperature ionic conductivity. However, the current SSEs, especially those with practical ionic conductivities (≥10 –3 S/cm) at room temperature, often develop unstable interfaces at the metal anode, in some cases with even greater severity than with liquid organic electrolytes. Despite persistent efforts, achieving interfacial stability and sufficient ionic conductivity simultaneously represents one of the greatest challenges in ASSBs. The current approaches focus on stabilizing the interface by incorporating secondary interlayers or introducing coatings by surface engineering. The method is often material-specific, and the added interlayers often deteriorate during cycling. In this work, using phase analysis and explicit interface modeling, we demonstrate a strategy to kinetically stabilize the interface between the SSE and metal anode by incorporating selected monoanion clusters in the SSE; they can effectively lower or even halt the reduction kinetics at the interface by promoting on-site formation of interphases that are highly electron insulating. The study provides insight into the kinetic effects to achieve SSEs with superior properties in bulk and at the interface.

Machine-learning interatomic potentials for interfaces in all-solid-state batteries: Perspectives on training data, model selection, and validation

Interfaces play a pivotal role in dictating the performance and reliability of all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs), where complex electro-chemo-mechanical phenomena at grain boundaries (GBs) and interfaces can lead to degradation and failure. Traditional atomistic simulation methods, such as first-principles calculations and classical molecular dynamics, face limitations in modeling these interfaces due to either high computational cost or insufficient transferability to the diverse atomic environments evolving at interfaces. Machine-learning interatomic potentials (MLIPs) have emerged as a transformative approach, enabling large-scale, high-accuracy simulations of disordered and chemically complex systems by leveraging the predictability of machine learning models trained on first-principles data. Recent applications of MLIPs have demonstrated their ability to capture intricate behaviors at ASSB interfaces, including ion transport, interfacial evolution, and degradation mechanisms, with accuracy and efficiency unattainable by conventional methods. This prospective paper presents comprehensive analysis and practical guidance for MLIP development for GBs and interfaces in ASSBs, with a focus on three key pillars: data generation, model selection, and validation. Here, we review the current state of MLIP applications for GBs and interfaces in both general and ASSB-specific materials, highlighting best practices and challenges in constructing diverse and representative datasets, choosing appropriate machine learning architectures, and rigorously validating model performance. We also discuss emerging strategies and opportunities for improved reliability and efficiency of MLIPs to simulate realistic interfaces in ASSBs.

Unveiling the High‐Voltage Reactivity and Gas Evolution With Aluminum‐Based Chloride and Oxychloride Catholytes in Solid‐State Sodium Batteries

All-solid-state sodium batteries (ASSBs) employing halide solid electrolytes (SEs) offer a cost-effective and energy-dense alternative to conventional liquid electrolyte systems. However, their high voltage (>4 V vs. Na/Na + ) performance remains limited by interfacial instability between the cathode active material (CAM) and the SE. We present here the electrochemical and interfacial behaviors of crystalline NaAlCl 4 and amorphous sodium–aluminum–oxychloride (NACO) SEs when combined with NaNi 0.5 Mn 0.5 O 2 cathode. While oxygen incorporation in NACO enhances ionic conductivity by nearly three orders of magnitude relative to NaAlCl 4 , it does not improve high-voltage cycling stability. Cells employing NACO exhibit accelerated capacity fade, increased cell impedance growth, and intrinsic oxygen evolution above 4.5 V vs. Na 3 Sn, as revealed by operando electrochemical mass spectrometry. In contrast, the NaAlCl 4 -based cells show no detectable gas release, underscoring their superior high-voltage stability and safety. Time-of-flight secondary-ion mass spectrometry confirms the formation of Al─O and Ni/Mn─Cl species, respectively, in the SE and CAM, indicating redox-driven anion exchange that contributes to kinetic hindrance of high-voltage phase transitions. The findings establish that while oxygen incorporation enhances ionic transport, it can compromise interfacial stability, suggesting pure chloride SEs may offer a more robust and intrinsically safer pathway for developing high-energy ASSBs.

Deciphering Chemical/Electrochemical Compatibility of Li 3 InCl 6 in 5.2 V High-Voltage LiCoO 2 All-Solid-State Batteries

Large interfacial resistance is a widely recognized impediment to the advancement of high-voltage, all-solid-state batteries. However, a comprehensive understanding of the fundamental cause behind the interfacial resistance between solid electrolytes and typical layered oxide cathodes has not yet been achieved. Here, we investigated the high-voltage stability of Li 3 InCl 6 and elucidated the underlying interfacial electrochemical reactions between LiCoO 2 and Li 3 InCl 6 . Further, the pairing of Li 3 InCl 6 with LiCoO 2 exhibited a superior capacity retention of 73.6% even at 5.2 V, much higher than 28.2% charged at 4.6 V in lithium-ion batteries after 70 cycles. The enhanced high-voltage stability of ASSBs is attributed to the stable interface formed between LiCoO 2 and Li 3 InCl 6 and the reinforced surface and bulk structure stability. On the other hand, the ultrahigh voltage still causes the partial decomposition of Li 3 InCl 6 and generates interfacial compounds such as InClO and cobalt and indium chlorides/oxides.
